These two Quebecois sisters played dress-up as Acadian settlers at Ft. Anne, the birthplace of Canada, in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. The museum there has hands-on activities for children in every room.
These two (considerably older) sisters play dress-up as 18th century French colonists at the Beggar’s Banquet at Point of View Suites in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. Everyone who attends the banquet, dresses in costume.

Looks like so much fun! Like the first photo … those kids are cute!
So cute 🙂
the children are so pretty! They look Swedish or something!
What a neat idea. Looks like a lot of fun!
Very cute pictures.
Thats an awesome picture! Love that you took the time to dress up and have fun. So many times we don’t do this as we age.
Debbie: Once you agree to buy tickets for the Beggar’s Banquet, you’re committed to dressing up. They have big shelves of skirts, underskirts, blouses, vests, caps for women and pantaloons and shirts and vests for the men. Everybody pulls on these clothes before going in to the dining room. (And I love your Salzburg photos!)
I like the “older sisters” pic 🙂 So fun!!
Looks like fun!
How adorable those two little sisters are (and the older ones too) 🙂 This would be such fun- to ‘play dress up’- I do have the East Coast and Nova Scotia on my list of places to visit and I plan to play dress up while I’m there 🙂
your clothes are WAY cooler than the kids clothes! what fun!
Jessie: Our clothes are different because they’re from a different (later) era, and a more prosperous colony. But I love the little wooden shoes they had for the little girls.
