Last weekend Daddy went out of town on a mission trip so the kids and I packed up and went to Grandma’s house! We didn’t do much, but it was nice to have company and a change of scenery. We even got to celebrate Grandma’s birthday while we were there. We decorated signs, made cake, and went out for ice cream!
Saturday we went to Roanoke Island. We visited the Adventure Museum, saw the Elizabeth II ship, and an old-time settlement. Andrew and Leah both loved dressing up as pirates & soldiers & old-fashioned ladies.
Even Abigail shot a gun.
Andrew did NOT want to get out of the toy boat.
Neither of them were really excited about going below deck on the Elizabeth II—it was a little crowded that day and the stairs were pretty steep. Plus it was very cold!
But they did enjoy exploring the settlement: touching animal furs, scraping out an old log to make a boat, and standing by a campfire.
So glad Grandma & Grandpa live close by and we have the freedom to get away for weekends like this!
