We went to the reenactment of people who immigrated through Ellis Island.
It was very well put together. David learned about it in 5th grade and Abi will be learning it soon. I realized we need to do more of these kinds of things with our kids that teach American History and instill Patriotism. It was worth attending!

Now on to Colonial Days
Here we are at the Crandall Historic Printing Press Museum.
The kids are watching intently at the process of printing the Gutenberg Bible from 1452. Very interesting Museum. If you have the chance to go you should do it.
Here is the site for a virtual tour.

The had to wined some kind of string to weave through the top of the broom to hold it all together.
This was also a very interesting activity. We will definitely attend this one again some year too. How we sure do appreciate all the modern convinces!!!!

What a fun outing. I can't wait until my boys are old enough to do things like that. We have so many good opportunities available.
I hope you don't mind me popping up on your blog. I followed a comment you made on Kathy's blog. :)
