Camping on the 4th of July

 Watching the fireworks on the beach

We had the best time running around catching ghost crabs and laughed the whole time we were doing it

Summer field trip to St. Augustine

We took the boys to the Timicuan and Colonial Spanish museum in St. Augustine.  We had a fun time learning how the indians and some of the first settlers of America lived.

It took 28 days or "1 moon" to make a canoe.  First, the native americans would burn the inside of the tree and then dig out the ash with shells.
