I haven't gotten to reporting on our trip to Williamsburg--we plan to go again this week and also when our friends from Portland visit in a couple weeks. I actually bought an annual membership there. The kids had *so* much fun. There is so much to see and do, and I really love how they made everything interactive as much as possible. You can see how they used to live, what they wore, how they made things...The well is outside the bakery, where we had "ginger cakes" and rested in the shade.
This is Maya stomping the mud to make the bricks they used for building. Jonah declined the messy job, but didn't want to leave the area where there were people actually making the bricks. He was very interested in watching them plop the mud into molds then spread them in the sun to dry.
On the way there, we stopped at "Presidential Park", where they have huge busts of all the presidents. I love this picture because it is so representative of how kid #3 just gets included in everything the rest of the family is doing. Maya and Jonah are very big into having him in pictures and holding him. He doesn't mind it so much, most of the time, but would you have ever have caught me letting someone hold my first baby so that her head was flopping and her arm was at that weird angle and she was being almost choked around the neck? I would never have had my first born outside in 100 degrees either, but this time around we just drag him along wherever we go.
