Hey tour guide, who is the Wadsworth fellow any way? What about this Revere guy? What's his claim to fame? KW, you are so full of questions today. How about you do some googling of both and let us all know at the end of the blog. Oh, ok I can do that.
Now where are we off to today? KW, enough with the questions. Ok then, just tell me. We are heading to Lexington and Concord. Hey wait, aren't they fighting there? No KW, that was quite a few years ago. Well, I need to be ready just in case. Well, don't look at me if we see any Redcoats.
Tour guide, you may want to come hear.
Well, that settles it. I'm getting my musket and powder horn. Where's my hat?
KW, I'm right with you. This should be a big enough gun for me. Ok CJ, but wait till you see the whites of their eyes before firing.
OK, now that the skirmish is over Mrs. tour guide can get on with her stamping.
KW & CJ even got into the act.
