Around Our House









Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We did. We enjoyed spending some time with my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and children on Saturday. We then enjoyed a wonderful day of worship and some time with my honey's mom and family on Sunday.



















My 3rd daughter made this adorable cake for Easter.










Monday we went on a wonderful fieldtrip to a Colonial Reenacting area not too far from us. We were able to "meet" Paul Revere, attend a stamp tax rally, attend a meeting of the Continental Congress, meet George Washington's granddaughter, attend a Sons of Liberty meeting and deliver a message to Paul Revere's wife, attend the Virginia meeting where they decided to declare independence, and experience some militia training. What a day of fun! :)

George Washington's granddaughter taught some of the students how to dance.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

My boys would be in heaven if they went to something like that! We have to put our own reenactments on around here. We do it on their birthdays. Last year I blogged their WWII birthday party, the year before that was Civil War and this year we are going to do Revolutionary War!

It looks like you had a wonderful day celebrating Christ's resurrection!

What lovely Easter Lilies you have in that first picture.

Oh my gosh, I would just love to take my kids to a Revolutionary War reenactment. My son would adore it! He's got a British soldier outfit and everything (traitor ;) So glad you guys had a wonderful time!
