Imagine going through the cold, New England winter living off a slim, summer corn crop and a few fish. Every person suffered daily from hunger and watched as the food supplies continued to dwindle. Tradition says that eventually all that was left for this band of Pilgrims to eat each day was five kernels of parched corn. Certainly, this is a stark contrast to the Thanksgiving most of us experience!
We did enjoy a marvelous feast yesterday-- However, we did teach the children about the pilgrims and the first thanksgiving this week. It's important to instill the reason for the holiday. They enjoyed learning about plymouth rock and the mayflower, Squanto and the shared meal!
These are pictures of some of the crafts the girls have made this season--I forgot to post them before
These were made from their hands and feet:)
We are truly blessed!
