"Class Trip."

This spring we worked on a Canadian History unit. And we live right in the area of some of the battles of the war of 1812. Fort George (or "St. George" as Levi called it all day-I think he missed a lesson somewhere) was the destination! This actual fort has been restored. The staff there was great, answering many (and every) question. We saw a musket demontration, tried a cookie baked on an open fire (I wasn't running back for the recipe on that one!), and tried on some uniforms. Some of these are drummers, and from different armies! Then we were off to Queenston Heights for a picnic, and a climb up Brock Tower. A great day was had by all!
