Chores in Williamsburg

Apparently in Williamsburg, it isn't enough to just pay for entrance. If you are a kid, then you ALSO have to do some chores.  The kids ACTUALLY LOVED to do them?  WHAT?  How's that happen?  We can't get them to lift a finger at home, but for total strangers, they jump at the chance.  Oh well, it was fun!!!

 The kids were expected to....pick spliced firewood from a pile -

carry it over to another pile

 and stack it neatly.

washing dishes has NEVER been so much fun

 Keely even got a little upset when a lady took this cup from her...and she wasn't done drying it.

 scrubbing more pans

 Landon didn't want to wash dishes, so he got the job of mashing the corn kernels.

 They had the girls do some ironing.

 I think the favorite job for the kids was learning to make herbal medicines

 this one had flower, cornmeal, rose petals and much more

 Then, they helped set the dinning table for dinner in the formal dinning room

 plates, and forks and knives and spoons

and cups and napkins.  

The kids were pretty tired after a day of walking around, and doing chores everywhere we went.
