On Friday I saw a posting on our school list serv about an American Girl Doll tea party at the USS Constitution Museum. I had never been to the ship or the museum, neither had Ally. It was Sunday after church, a local author was reading from his book about girls in history. It sounded like fun. I asked Ally if she wanted to go, the answer was a resounding YES. So I bought tickets and we figured out outfits and went.
It was an unseasonably hot late September day but we had fun.
Ally and I in front of the Commandant’s house, where the tea was held.
Not only did Ally and McKenna have matching dresses, they also sported matching French braids.
Inside the tea party, we played traditional parlor games, and took a selfie! There was lemonade to drink, thank goodness!
After the party we walked over to the ship, boarded it and walked around. It was pretty neat to see the cannons and how big the ship was.
After touring the ship we headed into the museum. We purchased the book from the reading “Sisters of Scituate Light” and the author signed it for Ally.
Posing with her new book in front of the model ship. Then relaxing in a hammock in the ship’s barracks exhibit.
A craft project is never to be missed, and Ally had fun trying to write her name with a traditional quill and ink. The quill was a goose feather!
When we got home, I took a break and Ally and Becky made pizza for dinner. Looks like Cloey even helped spread the flour.
