Jamestown: take 2


Abby and Sabrina went with us to Jamestown again this summer. This trip was a lot different than when we went in December. There were LOTS of people there this time and man it was HOT!!!! The girls were done pretty quick.
Here they are again, helping out the reenactment people by crushing the corn. I think this may be their favorite part of the place, besides being able to go in the Indian houses and lay on the fur beds. Ooo lala! Cute, ain't they? This is the same boat that they helped scrape out in December when we were here. They actually got to sit in it and pretend to go somewhere. They had another boat there and the girls helped scrape out some of that one as well. Too bad we won't be back to be able to ride in it:(
And of course, what trip to Jamestown is complete without a stop to say "Hi" to Pocahontas?! The girls thought this was great. Sabrina wants to be an archaeologist when she grows up, she was extremely excited that there were archaeologists at Historic Jamestowne that she could talk to. She even brought back a rock that was supposed to be part of a hearth or something. I have a hard time believing that but who knows, that is what the guy told her. Sean took them to this one the next day, as I said, the heat killed them and they didn't want to leave the house after we got back from the Living History Museum. The only thing that got them out of the house was a trip to the beach later in the evening when it had cooled down. What a great time.
