Our Weekend

we had such a healthy weekend! i’d dispatch pictures but i forgot my camera at my parent’s domicile. i’ll be up there today and i’ll be solid to post the pictures.we decided to drop going to the forts in new london and groton on saturday. the gas would deceive been too much. so we got an antique start and headed up to canterbury with a small side trip to lowes in killingly to pick up the parts sam needed to finish the toy box. while in lowes, hannah and i poured over the render sample cards and booklets. she decided on in all directions 10 cards to take home and assess out in the “real” portable of the flat. she picked some beautiful sage greens with creamy greens as latent accents. she also chose a few cards of browns for accents. we’ll make enquiries what she ends up with!we then arrived at the prudence crandall house museum. it has clearly improved since i went there on a class field trip in 1986! the girls were pleased to put faces with some of the names they had understand with reference to. i was surprised that they actually stopped to read most of the brandish signs. the museum had a small video of scenes from canterbury help of the years. samantha wanted to be versed if the green center school (one room schoolhouse in canterbury) was the school i went to!the museum did a good job of effectual the article of prudence crandall within the structure of the pass? period. they did a great job of explaining the history of why people did what they did. i hate it when people have bearing 21st century morals, ethics, and beliefs to history. history has to be disucssed within the context of the period in which it occured. we are to learn from history, not judge it’s ethics or morals.anyway, we then went to my parent’s house for the open studio. when we got there mom had two visitors, so as quietly as five kids who are happy to see their grandparents can, we went in. after a lunch of tuna sandwiches, lemonade, cheese and fruit, we took the girls swimming for a few hours.the water was perfect! samantha and rachel are becoming better swimmers already. samantha has no solicitude and often has to be reminded of the boundaries. and that pretty much describes samantha in everything!we left for home around 3:30 and got retreat only just in habits to get the animals taken care of forward of the thunderstorms came through.our father’s day was a nice relaxing daylight. the younger girls gave sam a “three stooges fire department” sign. the three older girls gave him a huge book of firefighting history. it was phrase unserviceable by the national fallen firefighter’s memorial and the proceeds go to support the families of firfighters who have died in the line of duty. it’s a beautiful book with lots of photos of prehistoric equipment and fire houses. visual acuity candy for firemen!
