A Tad Obsessed

to thursday is my set day to take the boys on an adventure,

and i' becoming a tad obsessed with local history,

so put the two together and what did i come up with you ask?

Rouse Hill Regional Park.

it's huge.

it's beautiful.

it's full in history.

the kids park has a backdrop of the historic Rouse Home and Farm.

it's really breath-taking, well for local historian lovers, like myself ; ).

plus there are cows there which the kids went crazy over and it's 100% free.

you should see my list of local historical sites that i want to see.

it's pretty long - never ever thought i would get to this point in my life - ha.

my greatest discovery today was on the drive home, i took a different way home and i know your dying to know what i stumbled upon in between two houses.

THE ROUSE HILL CEMETERY. 

like, the original one, can you imagine my excitement because that was not on my list.

it's a little embarrassing, ok it's a WHOLE lot embarrassing to know how excited i was.

we don't hear anything about our local history and i think we should.

you can find out some amazing things, we have an amazing heritage and i can't help myself thinking about the houses, who lived in them, what were there lives like, what did they wear?

the list goes on and on.

all i have to say is, it's official i am OLD.
