As our last hoorah in the Winston-Salem area we decided to take a break from the packing and went to the Horne Creek Living Farm for farm days. We had fun listening to some music, playing old the games, and getting the corn off the ears.
Our first outing around Wilmington was to Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson. It was a town built in the 1700s that did a lot of shipping of turpentine and other things but was destroyed by the late 1700s by fire from the British. Then it became Fort Anderson during the Civil War.

| These men were demonstrating their firelocks. Denzil goes around now shouting "Firelock!" then makes a gun sound. |

| This is what is left of the Church, I think it was called St. Phillips church. The walls are there but that's it. |
 |
| The mounds are from the fort. It said that the mounds were made one shovel of dirt at a time by slaves and indians. |

| This is Oak Island Lighthouse. |

| Here is our house for the year. We love it! We have awesome neighbors and love our neighborhood. Denzil and McKinley are in love. It is sure nice to have more space to put our stuff too. |

| Denzil's new friend is Loren next door. She is a few months older than him but they love playing together. Yesterday they brought out the slip n'slide and the kids were in heaven! |

That farm looks really cool. Too bad we didn't go when we were there. I love your new house!
