So day five, Friday, we went to Yorktown. (we kinda did these backwards.... technically it's supposed to be Jamestown, Williamsburg and then Yorktown.)
The first thing we did when we got there is we went to the shotgun demonstration.
On the table are the big shots that we all got to hold... they are HEAVY
This is technically not a canon, it's a form of a gun.
This is a canon. :)
Luke got to help with the firing of the first "canon".
He measured how many degrees it needed to go up....
The laundry... wow!
Some of the games the men played during their free time.
Inside one of the general's tents.
I'm a cooking back there, Jyll and Brooke are playing a game, Luke is eating and I have no idea what Adrienne is doing! :)
This is like the fire thingy (excuse my lack of words I cannot remember what the name of it was!) they all sat around and cooked food and stuff.
The food they would have eaten.
See the little ovens?
Mom is giving Dad a shave.... :)
Having fun in the tents!
Trying on the hats!
Totally love these pictures I took!
The kids knew what this was from learning their history... do you know what it is??
Fun times for all!
(Don't forget to read Vacation Day 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the older posts, and Part 2 of this post underneath!)
