We're going to Williamsburg?!

Well, Considering that someone told me my baby would probably be born before I updated this blog I thought I should post:) If you didn't hear I have officially gone koo-koo and 2 weeks ago within a 6 hour period of time decided to join our History group (The Rawlsons, Hartliefs, McGaheys,the Masri's and us:)We missed you Tammy!) for a week long field trip to Historic Williamsburg. I left Lauren for the first time (well that was longer then a 48 hour time frame.) She did great of course until I got back home:) Virginia was a wonderful experience!(with some unexpected UPS and downs) The fact that almost every map said one thing and the street signs said another could get any one's temper tempted. My best idea, to follow the shuttle until you get to your destination. Who would have thought getting the cooler would take an hour or renting costumes almost the same, who knew there would be mold in one of the bedrooms. (the reason for the move..the new condo ended up extremely nicer) I don't think Hannah and Hope ever got to Wee Folk but all was good in the end and I don't think Shawnie and Elyse would change anything if it meant changing their close friends the Slacks surprising them (I personally like Shawnie screaming "Oh my God, Oh my God!" right outside of the mental hospital:) nor would I change it if it meant I wasnt able to hear Taylor sing "I am in Williamsburg, I cant believe I am in Williamsburg" or Colin asking questions about the slaves and thier hardships. Outside of some repentance sessions (from the moms:) everyone did great! I think my kids enjoyed Jamestown and Yorktown the best. I am glad that the Lord was so sovereign to create me in this time period, with out houses, horse poop and the medical procedures, I am not sure I would have lived as long:) Ladies, Thank you so much for switching things, from cars to rooms, to just adding more to the brunch in order for Taylor, Colin and I to go. We really did have a blast and the friendships, memories, and experience far out weighed any of the "misfortunes." You Girls are the Best and we cant wait for the rest of this tapestry year! Enjoy our slide show. P.S. I videoed half the time so I didn't take as many pictures as usual.
