Patriots Day

It was time once again for the reenactment of the battle on the Lexington Green. It started nice and early Monday morning at 5:30 a.m. We were bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, though.The "rebel" patriots gathered......to withstand the impressively uniformed British soldiers.After the battle takes place, the colonist soldiers march to the nearby graveyard where they place flower wreaths on graves and give a gun salute.Minute Man StatueThe fun you can have in front of a giant flag!A truck driving by was putting out flags for the parade later that morning, so we offered (well... begged, really) to help.We concluded the morning with a visit to the local IHOP for yummy breakfast. Good times!
