Plimouth Plantation













While the weather was unseasonably warm, we took a trip to Plymouth.  We started at the Wampanoag Homesight.  It was fantastic!  A few men were firing a boat and let the kiddos sit in a complete one.  We also helped to grind some corn that was put in a stew.  The kids also got to play with some tradional toys:)  We then walked over to the village.  The kids were fascinated with the characters.  They watched a dinner being prepared and sat on a traditional bed.  They loved helping a family beat their bedding!  They even helped Governor Bradford cut some wood:)  From there, we grabbed some lunch and then a prize from the store.  After a short drive, we were at the Mayflower.  We were the only there and the characters gave the kids a great tour.  They let them hold some of the food that would have been eaten and then work to get some water.  After four hours of exploring, we headed back home:)  I love field trips!
