the plymouth feast

we had so much fun last year reenacting the 1st thanksgiving that we decided to go for another round. w and i studied squanto and how he taught the early settlers about the 3 sisters (corn, beans, and squash),  and did various activities to go with them (i.e. making corn necklaces and pottery). we listened to the thanksgiving c.d. aunt nancy sent last year at least 5 times, per w's request.

we made use of last year's feather duster, but changed it up a bit and used the feathers for head-dresses.

and then we invited friends to join us
for bean-soup, cornbread, and popcorn. tried to keep it as authentic as i could. fun stuff. i get way too excited about these things:).
