Happy Birthday, America

And the birthday party the Stauffer's threw included a Williamsburg trip, complete with a reading of the Declaration at noon on the courthouse steps (see colonists using their Japanese technology at bottom). The kids enjoyed all of the 1700's activities and against my pacifist roots, enlisted in the continental army and underwent rifle and bayonet training with other recruits. Kids (and adults) worn out and collapsed on couch, the only relief was the amazing swimming pool. Thanks Stauffer gang for a fun time in Virginia!
