Jamestown

A little over a week ago, I went to Jamestown with Adam and is 4th grade class.  It was a quick whirlwind of a trip, but it was a lot of fun and very interesting.


 This was one of the first things we saw.  It is just a tower that marks the settlement of Jamestown.  The real place in Jamestown where Christopher Newport landed was about a mile up the road, but this is symbolic.


They are leaning how they fished.  Adam's best friend, Kasey, is holding the fishing pole.


I had to take a picture of their church pews.  So glad we have better seats in our church!


They had a circle of these faces.  Apparently, they danced in this circle.  (However, I must admit I love the bottom face best!)



 Just needed a picture of that dear boy!


The class got to sit in a boat that is very much like they used back then.  It is basically a hollowed out log.


This is a painting of the type of boats they used.  Adam insisted that we needed a picture of  it.


There was a map painted on the ground.  Adam got to "swim" across the ocean.


He got to try on their armor.


This was our group--all dressed up.  Fine young men!

It was a fast trip, but we learned a lot and still had time for fun!
