A couple of TOG moms also came that day, so we had a small "GeTOGether." This was my first time meeting Tammy and Laurie. Their families are awesome! So glad we had a chance to meet! Laurie comes to Williamsburg often so I'm sure we'll meet again.
The last time we came to Colonial Williamsburg, in March, my son was disappointed not to see the musket shooting, even though we were there for three days. Fortunately this day we just happened to be walking by when this young person was getting a lesson in musket loading and firing.
Laurie's family comes often enough that many of the interpreters know them and will stop and gladly tell great stories.
The new Revolutionary City programs are awesome! This is Benedict Arnold when he marched British troops into Williamsburg and seized the town for the British. The crowd got into it as well. What fun!
Of course the fife and drum corps are always great. We followed them down Duke of Gloucester Street to the parade grounds to see a reinactment of the gathering of the American troops for the march on Yorktown.We can't wait to go again the next homeschool days!
with my two youngest - my oldest has moved on to high school biology. They are really enjoying this book, especially the hands-on activities like this fun experiment.
