A Walk Through The American Revolution

In 5th grade the students do "A Walk Through The American Revolution".

They dress up in costumes and memorize parts.

Logan was Captain Parker and John Adams.

His lines for John Adams were..."I played a major part in the adoption of The Declaration of Independence.  My wife Abigail and I were outspoken on the separation from Great Britain.  I was the first vice-president of our new country, I was elected the second president of the United States in 1797.  I died July 4, 1826 at the age of 90.  Thomas Jefferson died the same day. 

That's your history lesson for the day :)

Captain Parker led the Minutemen in the battles of Concord and Lexington.

We borrowed the wig from Grandpa Gwilliam - that's right Grandpa owns a wig.

More than one I think - they work for his Moses costume and the American Revolution.

Spring Break

We spent one of our days during spring break at the beach.
We are trying to do "research" for our Gwilliam Family Trip this summer.
Luckily we picked the only day it didn't rain during the week.

Can't wait to go back this summer with a bunch of cousins!!

Easter

Getting ready for Grandma and Grandpa's Easter Egg Hunt

(can't figure out why I can't get this picture to turn the right direction, but posting it anyway :)

Easter Eve

On Saturday night we went to Fentons and ate ourselves silly!

Then we went to listen to Grandma Jackie in the Temple Hill Symphony Orchestra Lamb of God performance - it was a great way to celebrate Easter.
