Today we spent the afternoon in Frankenmuth, a German/Barvarian town in Michigan. I fell in love with this town. They are proud of their German & Christian heritage. Something I can identify with.

Jessica loved this bench.
She also liked the table & chairs. She said I need these for my backyard.
Beautiful waterfall next to the river that cuts through town.

Another nativity.
Frankenmuth has a history museum. This exhibit depicted the trip from Bavaria.
The people who founded this town were strong Christians who believed
they were here to reach others for Christ.
They taught German to the natives along with sharing Christ.
Some hands on exhibits.

An early school.

This Christmas store is awesome! The joy of Christ's birth is celebrated all year at Bronner's - whose motto is: "Enjoy CHRISTmas, It's HIS birthday; Enjoy Life, It's HIS way."
