Visiting Jamestown

We went to Jamestown while I was up visiting. Kylie is studying that right now for school, so I thought what a perfect opportunity. We rode the Ferry over to Jamestown. Emme could not understand until we were on the Ferry how cars could go on a boat.
My mom and dad went with us- we had such a fun day!! Thanks again Grandma and Papa!!

A woman came up to me and asked if she could borrow my girls for like 15 minutes, she needed help rounding up and then feeding the chickens. My girls were thrilled to find them.
They were taught to not run or scream but to follow behind clapping their hands.

When we went on the Susan Constant to explore, the girls were asked to help bring down the flag. Kylie bringing down the flag.
