Yorktown

We went to Yorktown on Saturday. It is the sight of the last battle of the Revolutionary War. We all love the history here. Especially Ethan. He remembers even small details. I just wish he could remember his multiplication tables. These pictures are taken at Redoubt 9 and 10. Their capture from the British was a critical strategy to eventually defeat the British. John, Ethan and Emily fought the British for about an hour here. It was a lot of fun to watch them play. And we were freezing. It was supposed to be a warm day. It was 64 when we left Hopewell expecting the temp to rise........but when we to Yorktown it was 54. But we were determined to have fun anyway.


We were so determined to have fun we went to the beach too. John bought a kite with his own money. Him and his dad had a lot of fun getting it off the ground. Ethan shot more enemies that were trying to get onto the beach. Emily and Tiger got some sunbathing in. Oh, how we love the beach!
