William takes it very seriously, striving for authenticity in every detail. He was the only kid we saw who brought his lunch to school in a cloth sack.
The girls get into the dress-up aspect of it and love posing for pictures in their outfits.
The boys enjoy the novelty of their school-issued tricorn hats. I wasn't given one :(
Even the teachers dress up.
Cristie was one of the volunteers running the period games which include a pirate-themed dice game, a primitive form of baseball, and "hoop and stick" which really took off once the kids realized they could play it with Hula Hoops.
During recess the kids played their regular games in period outfits.
Another activity Cristie helped with was cooking. Here a girl is making biscuits.
Colonial Day ends ... back to regular school tomorrow.
