Day #5--Jamestown Settlement

Here it is Monday and back to exploring Virginia. This is showing how the Powattan Indians made boats by start little fires in the logs and scraping the ashes with seashells.






The blacksmith in the colony, making nails...




The community oven...


Gardens


Small houses where they ate and slept in the same rooms and had to just put their beds away every day.


My little troopers. Poor Noah has school and I had already pulled him out a few days the week before. But obviously we will take him back there. It's not far from us and it's even free for York County residents.

Ammon sitting on a bench in the church house...











Micah did usually eventually pass out for an hour or so when he had surpassed nap time by a couple of hours. Poor guy.



They had the 3 ships that brought the colonists here in the 1606-1620 range. This was very coold and fun to see and try to imagine living primarily in the small dark quarters beneath the deck for 4 1/2 months.

On deck





Kaden got to practice lighting the canons...Yes, he really liked that for some reason.
Trying out the sleeping quarters.








The following are the Powattan Indian village...
