On Monday, September 26, we went to Jamestown. The first thing we did was go to the bathroom. I got stuck in the first stall! With an automatic toilet! I hate automatic toilets! With regular toilets you can open the door and then flush, if you're scared of bathroom stalls and toilet sounds (which I am)! After banging on the door it finally opened.
Then we walked to the Native American tribe camp. All of the stuff outside was hands on so we could touch anything: pelts, feathers, beds, turtle shells. I loved everything about the camp!

Miriam tried to climb up into a bunk bed, but the ladder sticks were too far apart.
I touched most of the pelts, including a fox pelt, which, by the way, was super soft!
There was a game where there were some feathers attached to a corn cob, and you had to throw it into a target. It was a super fun game, and even life was hard, it would be fun to live in a Native American camp!

Very interesting. Thank you for writing, Rachel
ReplyDeleteSo does Zoe have a tail (the picture of her going into one of the houses)? And I hate automatic flush toilets, too! There is one in the library that flushes like THREE TIMES, always unexpectedly, and I wish it would let me finish first!
ReplyDeleteIt's just a little scottie dog. :)
DeleteMy nephew hates the automatic toilets too. Sorry you were stuck in the bathroom stall.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your time at the Native American camp.
