Another Outing to Plymouth

My last belated post from July!

At the end of July Jon's childhood friend, his wife, and their three kids joined us for a morning at Plimoth Plantation.

It was an overcast and unseasonably cool day, but that meant it was relatively quiet at the plantation.

Boys on cannons - the fort was probably the highlight for them

Matt and his new friend also enjoyed following the chickens

... while Andy studied the cows.

We then went into the Plymouth to visit the grist mill.

And because we were close by, we stopped to see Plymouth Rock so our friends could check that off their list of things they have seen.

Yes, that's it!
