We were visiting family and went through Virginia on the way home. Since our Colonial Williamsburg passes from last fall hadn't expired yet, we thought we'd go for a few days. It sounded like a good idea...at the time.
Our first stop was the brickyard. Last year when we went they mentioned that during the summer, they let people get into the pit where they mix the clay and try it out. I SHOULD have know better, but I thought it would be fun for the kids. This picture pretty much says it all... (Yes that's clay/mud.)
Yes, the kids did in fact have a "good time." I didn't particularly have a good time watching them...at the moment. But I knew that after time and some therapy, I'd eventually come around and act like a normal mom again. So I grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots....of them falling hands first into the mud and immediately grabbing onto a sibling with mud covered hands....just to fall on their hineys because they were off balance. (The two "fallen comrades" below are mine.)
Oh well... We spent the next hour drawing in our sketchbooks while the mud dried enough for us to get back on the bus.
Just a tip...if you go to Colonial Williamsburg in the summertime...don't make the brickyard your first stop...because it will also be your LAST stop. This picture below doesn't do justice to what they really looked like.
At least is wasn't raining, right?! I love Colonial Williamsburg. My hubby took me there for our 10th when we still lived in Michigan. (That was a loooonnngg drive, but very well worth it!! )
I hope you had a good time. They'll remember this for a long time!
Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck.
Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
