Jamestown

Now that we live so very close to Jamestown, we decided to head over to the visitor center and reenactment area on Saturday. As residents we get in for free and it's a great place to explore and let Evie run around. She loved the long pathways for running and felt very cool walking on the wall with Daddy.

We visited the indian village first and she was terrified of the lodges. She did NOT want to sit on those animal skins and get her picture taken!
She felt a little better when Daddy let her stand on a stump in the middle of the wigwam.
Some of the youth group kids volunteer at Jamestown. Here's Evie with indian Ben. She thought he was pretty great with his fancy clothes and fur.
Evelyn thinks dandelions are the most beautiful flowers. She was delighted to find some at Jamestown! I figured it's ok if I let her pick these kinds of flowers. :)
I'd say Evie had two highlights... the first was the musket being fired every half hour. Every time it'd go off she'd shout "POW!!!!!" It was hilarious! She was NOT a fan though when we actually went to see the musket demonstration. She wouldn't let go of Daddy the rest of the visit.
The main highlight though were the roosters and chickens! There are quite a few chickens and roosters that run around outside the fort. They're very used to people and quite friendly. They didn't mind how close Evie got (though too close scared me a bit).
We're looking forward to going back to Jamestown again soon!
