My parents gave Colin a whole soldier set of the battle of Yorktown for Christmas. Since then Colin has been asking who were the good guys and who were the bad guys and wanting to know more about the battle. So we went today to teach my son all about history. Colin was so excited in the car the whole way there. My parents and Uncle Jeff joined us and we walked the battlefields and went to the Visitors Center. Then had lunch with my grandparents. Colin walked a long ways and at one point Jeff took a picture of Colin waist deep in the snow. Colin told Brent at dinner that he learned all about the "Brudish soldiers" - not British. He is somehow convinced they were the Brudish soldiers. Either way the were the ones who lost the war. Colin said his favorite part was going to see the cannons and skippers with Grandpa and Uncle Jeff.
Joel had fun too. He kept calling the canons "Boom." But his favorite part of the day was finding a big mud patch.
Sneaky boy - just look at that face.
Good thing mommy doesn't mind a little mud and remembered to bring a change of clothes this time. He had a blast stomping in the mud.
This was Joel well past his naptime. He was asleep in the car before we even backed out of the driveway.
