History

On our beach vacation, we visited the lost colony in Roanoke. Apparently settlers (not pirates) sailed over here and tried to start their own town and then they disappeared. I thought it might be a good idea to have Scooby Doo check it out. He's always good at solving mysteries. We saw the ship the settlers went on and an Indian village. It was probably 105 degrees, but it was still pretty neat.

In the Indian village we practiced weaving mats and grinding corn. We danced in the dance circle and played in the leader's house.


We went on a real boat, just like the settlers. It had beds, guns, games, dishes, and lots of ropes.

 
Someone convinced Luke to do some chores on the boat.
 
In the museum, we dressed up like settlers and pirates. Luke wanted to spend the whole time standing in the fireplace, saying "Diagon Alley".
