Mt. Vernon has fun fall activities, like a Colonial Fair that we went to back in September.
Sweet Ruthie, who longs to be a colonial girl. We made her sweater into a little sun shade that looked like a ruffly cap.
Our friend Joseph trying his hand at planing some wood. The kids did some basket weaving too.
Drummer boys! There were also Colonial infantry giving musket demonstrations.
We saw many demonstrations of arts and crafts done the way they did them in colonial times. Lace making was fascinating. Oh, and chocolate making. The kids were entertained with a sword-swallower and an "equilibrist." She did balancing tricks while juggling flaming torches. Impressive.
There were also various musical offerings such as this choral group. We heard ladies playing harpsichords and zithers too. It was such fun! We saw George himself for the first time- but we didn't get his picture OR autograph. Maybe next time.
