Happy Birthday George!

Tried to post this last night, but my service was on the fritz....

Today was a beautiful day, unseasonably warm, and we decided to celebrate Presidents' Day by spending the afternoon at Ferry Farm. (George Washington's boyhood home for those of you not as steeped in US history as I am--pfffthththttt-giggle, snort)

We got to sign a birthday card for George with quill and ink....

Sign up for the Continental Army....

Play colonial games like whack the wooden circle (okay, I know that's not the real name, I'm just to tired to think of it and too lazy to go look it up. Deal with it.)

Even hubby got in on this one..

Then there was lawn bowling.. check out the form here folks, and look how impressed the nice lady is behind Henny...
Baby monkey here didn't quite get the lawn bowling concept. He thought the object was to grab the pins and whack the ball.
Also there was pitching corn cob thru the wreath..

and well, I'm not quite sure what this one was called either
But anything involving sticks for boys is an enjoyable thing, right? This was also sister's favorite game as well. She did pretty well with it. Must come from my side of the family. ;-)
