April 19 is Patriots' Day - and it's fun! It's a day to commemorate when the colonists fought the British Regulars - and hence we are a free country! Although we didn't attend all the events we had hoped, we did go to the reenactment of the battle at Lexington - right on the very spot!! We got up at 4:00 am (yes, just imagine the fun of pulling 5 children and one mother from their beds at that hour - the 18 year old refused!) and met our friends, who are "old-timers" and had all the necessary equipment. ie: ladder and boards to make a high-rise bench to see over the crowds.
The Millers and Boyce boys wait for the action.
You notice that only one of the children looks thrilled at 5:00 am to be watching a BATTLE with GUNS and BAYONETS and CANNONS and so on!

I know he's secretly wishing he could take that home!
Everyone perked up a little - especially since we were heading to donuts. I think Richard's the only one who didn't have a nap that day.
