This was our first school field trip of the year! We went down to Virginia for a 1771 Colonial experience. Lilly enjoyed walking around with her friends, seeing old houses, and playing games from the colonial times. She didn't like dipping the string into hot wax to make a candle or carding or spinning wool. She thought those were too hard. Plus, she was afraid of getting hurt. The people giving instructions gave warnings about the wax being so hot that it could burn you and the brushes being sharp enough to cut you. Yeah, that scared her enough to not want to do them. Oh well, it was neat to go on this field trip together. We saw what life was like in Virginia a long, long time ago. Before we went on the field trip, I showed Lilly some pictures and read the American Girl books Felicity. The stories take place in 1774.
We look forward to more school field trips this year!
