We attended church for the 10:30 service and afterwards they brought out a HUGE birthday cake for Jesus. Afterwards, Christina and I went to see the "Historic Washington crossing the Delaware" re-enactment. Wow! I always thought that was just a bunch of guys get into a boat dressed as revolutionary war soldiers and officers. Was I wrong! There's dialogue, interaction, narration, etc. Also, Christina and I live right in front of the Delaware River. I mean, you can see it from our bathroom window. Well, we went to the Pennsylvania side to watch the re-enactment. So, watching what happens BEFORE the crossing, was really cool. While we were waiting for George to make his famous cross, a friendly soldier answered all of our questions concerning that time. I highly recommend taking your children to see this once a year. Educational and a lot of fun!
Did you know that the phrase, "Lock, Stock, and Barrel" originated from a revolutionary war soldier's musket? The 3 main components on a soldier's musket. The Lock mechanism, the Stock (or handle) and the barrel (what the musket ball travels through). The phrase means that "you've got everything you need!"
We came home, and watched "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carrey as the voice of Scrooge. EXCELLENT version of the classic story.
A MUST SEE!
