Jesus Birds

Today we saw a miracle...or maybe the pond was just frozen over...when we saw bunches of Canadian geese walking on the water in our pond. It was quite humorous to watch them attempt to walk and take-off because they were just sliding around. And now there are nice white/black piles all over the ice...yuck!

Movie Costumes at the Henry Ford

Saturday we went to Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum again because they had their annual Member sale at their stores and there were a few things I wanted to purchase for Christmas. While we were there, we decided to check out the Hollywood movie costume exhibit that they have their for a few months. The pictures aren't the greatest because of the lights and barriers, but you can still tell what they're supposed to be. It turned out that we weren't supposed to take pictures at all, but I totally missed the signs when we walked in. :) Enjoy!

This is Robin. It was definitely the cheapest costume we saw. It's a plain green t-shirt and a thin red vest tied with shoelaces.
Here is Batman. The headpiece didn't look very comfortable at all!
The Batmobile!
The door of the Ghostbusters car. Whenever you stepped too close to the car, it said, "Please step away from the vehicle!"
More of the Ghostbusters car.
Imperial Army costumes from the old Star Wars.
The headpiece and sword. I'm not sure how they could see out of the headpieces.
Light saber!
Luke Skywalker's jumpsuit.
Darth Vader! The buttons and things on his chest are only painted on. Nothing fancy. He was tall though!
Obi-Wan Kenobi's cloak.
