Colonial Days

Our annual trip to Colonial Days over the 4th of July weekend.

It never fails to deliver.

Rich in history, steeped in tradition with a few new additions this year that I wanted to capture.


The firing of the cannon.

Not new this year, but always a favorite.

Covering of the ears is a must!


Piece by piece my kids put on the armor of a time long past, with an explanation for every article.

Of coarse, the swords were their favorites.



Alyssa carded a little wool, a skill she will undoubtedly be happy she has and will most likely be able to use in the future, don't ya think?




We locked up and left a few kids in the stockades.




And finally the most exciting "new" thing this year at good ole Colonial Days.

Introducing SAUSAGE ON A STICK!

My kids walked by this booth and HAD to have one.

And their dad, a big sausage fan, willingly obliged.

He, in fact, bought three.


Hopefully they will have more sausages hot and sizzlin next year because we will be back!
