Tea Party!

So we went to the local 'bostonish' Tea Party on April 15th. Derek thought the boys should be involved as well and that it would be a good learning experience for them. Yeah, it was for me too: my kids will whine and complain no matter what's going on, they won't listen when I say "hey, put on a coat and grab some gloves", and Derek can be a real pain (we all knew that already) :) He just griped a little too much at the boys for my liking. Those flags WERE heavy AND huge so finally I made him take Logan's & he could take care of 2 thanks.
Anyhoo... it took place on the falls downtown near the memorial statue for veterans, and there was a pretty good turn out considering the weather (rainy and cold). I think it lasted right at an hour, but we were done at that point regardless! It's a good experience & show of our dislike for our government's policies and actions and behavior. We had the American flag, the Gadsden flag, & the Title of Liberty flag & the boys carried signs Derek made (he even made little handles on the inside so they could put theri hands thru & hold them easier).
