| Exploring a recreated Powhatan home near the Jamestown fort. |
 |
| Learning how to make rope and all the ways it was used. |
 |
| Scraping a hide with sharpened oyster shells is tougher than it looks! |
 |
| The ships were very exciting to tour, with sailors on hand to answer questions. |
 |
| Belowdecks, our guide explained different types of shot used with the cannon. |
 |
| The reenactors were so authentic and eager to talk with us. |
 |
| Except we couldn't understand a word from these two. |
 |
| Everything was hands-on! |
 |
| We each got to test the weight of the sword. |
 |
| Boys. |
 |
| These two were entirely in their element here! |
 |
| On to Yorktown and forward in time to the American Revolution... |
 |
| Learning all about a REAL musket. (Note the toy one.) |
 |
| Possibly the highlight of the trip for my son. |
 |
| Details about the camp surgeon's work were a bit difficult to hear. |
 |
| I especially liked the camp laundry area! Very interesting undergarments. |

Cullen, was so good to see you at the Sheep to Shawl festival this weekend. Hope you had a great time!
Very interesting! I love how the boys really got into it and it looked like they knew what they were reenacting!
Wow! What a great learning opportunity! I'll have to put these on my homeschool wish list!! Thanks for the post. I really enjoyed the pictures!
That looked like a really great day out, my little lad would of loved it. Would have to try stop him fighting with the sword though! Some great pictures and a great blog. Please take a look at mine if you get the chance.
Thanks
