The Redcoats are coming!

This past Sunday we partook in the re-enactment of the Jason Russell House battle by the Menotomy Minutemen!!! The history is as follows:

This re-enactment commemorates an event that took place on the afternoon of April 19th, 1775, as the British regulars retreated from Concord and Lexington. Even though the Regulars were going house-to-house to clear a safe path for their retreat, lame and aged Jason Russell refused to leave his home. Minutemen from as far away as Danvers had rallied to him. The British troops ultimately stormed and captured the house, killing Russell and the other defenders.

The gun shots fired did not seem to scare Ava the least bit. I think she was very interested in what was going on. She has been to the bunker hill parade after all! I love Boston! So much history that we can try to 'relive'!!!
