Williamsburg Thanksgiving

We had a great time at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. We went on a family trip for three days over Thanksgiving. It did get very cold, but we were able to balance indoor activities with outdoor ones and enjoy our holiday. We dressed up for an evening at the Capital of Williamsburg. Matt and Angela were invited to participate in the colonial dancing.
Matt was cast as a revolutionary leader in a colonial play.

Dalton learns to play a colonial game called "hoop and stick."

Kirsten plays colonial games with the locals.

The master of "hoop and stick."

Angela must have been in trouble (or at least willing to humor her kids).

Dalton learned to play his tin whistle just like the Fife and Drum Corps.
[I just love him in his tricorner hat.]

Colonial kids (after a night of dancing).
