Just a small sampling of the New England-themed scenes from the last month:
 |
| My Revolutionary War Soldier: he is ready with his Tinker Toy matches to light the cannons (wrapping paper tubes), also note the small bouncy ball (cannonball) located inside the cannon |
 |
| Josiah cleaning his cannon before firing it |
 |
| Tinker Toy cannons and our ever versatile and beloved counting bears; the blue bears are the Continental Army and the red ones are the British Army, of course |
 |
| Shooting with their muskets |
 |
| Block fort ready to be defended; the curve blocks are spots for firing |
 |
| Something different! Submarine controls (although please note standard Revolutionary War gear in the background--cape, light saber, and American flag) |
 |
| I think Josiah is also doing submarine controls |
 |
| Ready to defend! |
 |
| Marching Minute Man |
 |
| Lobster traps! The caught lobsters were alternately treated as pets and as food to be served to parents |
 |
| Lobster-as-pet |
 |
| Foreground: ships (hint: triangle blocks=sails) with fort in the background (maybe Bunker Hill?) |
 |
| Lined up for battle; the leaders get horses |
 |
| More ships |
