The Battle at Lexington and Concord



In April we went to the Reenactment of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. It was also a cold day, but not as cold! I kept meaning to post the pictures, but just got around to it. It happens on Patriot day here in MA. It's the day we officially kicked the Brits hinny's!! So we missed the real battle with the Paul Revere ride and the "shot heard round the world," mostly because that was at like 5:45 am. But we did go later to the reenactment. It was really interesting to see and it was fun because as the battle moved, everyone had to kind of move along with them along the road. It was amazing to see how different war was back then. All the soldiers staying in formations and taking turns firing. It was really interesting and best of all they shot off the cannon a few times! And I guess we showed them whose boss!! Get out of here you Red Coats!!
