This was a much busier week than last week. I finished my exam last Saturday and on Sunday we headed to Colonial Williamsburg in VA for a retreat with our Classical Conversations co-op.
Becky and the girls stayed until Tuesday night and I had to come home Monday night for class the next day.
We had a great time. Some highlights
- We stayed at a waterpark and had so much fun on the rides.
- We went to the historic Jamestown Settlement the first permanent European settlement in North America
- At Colonial Williamsburg we saw many trades from that era: Silversmith, blacksmith, book printer and binder, shoe maker, gunsmith and many more.
- Also visited Yorktown Battlefield where the British surrendered to George Washington.
Today in our back yard we found 2 praying mantises (see picture above) and we able to squish our first stink bug. Yes, they really do stink...
Looking forward to church history this week in the PC and Hope's birthday on Friday. The girls have been doing a great job with school which makes Becky's job easier (I am sure it is a result of a great teacher!).
Soli Deo Gloria,
RFB
