George Washington and Betsy Ross

We had a fun time this morning with a message that started with the Liberty Bell and included a skit that featured George Washington and Betsy Ross, who you can see above.  Our time travelers were needing some "Bill and Ted" style assistance with their upcoming history test, so Professor Wisenheimer came in to help out, bringing a a few faces from the past.

 

That flag!  We ordered one of the Betsy Ross flags, because of course we have Betsy Ross in the skit today.  But the flag is super cool, with the thirteen stars there on equal footing with one another in a circle like the great Round Table of Camelot.  

You can see one thing the historical figures here learned from our current generation:  how to floss.  It seems as if George and Betsy have it sort of figured out.  Fortunately, I was stuck holding the flag.

Ah!  If actual historical figures visit from the past, be sure to take a selfie!  Maddie, of course, actually was taking pictures here - and recording a few videos too.

It was a nice morning.  We had a long day though, with a Summer Xtreme meeting afterwards, and all kinds of preparation going on.  It'll be that way for the next few days, I think, until the big start day on Wednesday.  I feel readier than usual, although there are a few other things I need to get done.

We got home and were pretty wiped out, of course.  It was a good day - we ended tonight with "Raiders of the Lost Ark," of course.  Because it's one of the greatest movies ever made.  Quote me on that.  Every time I watch this movie, I forget how good it is.  The three of us watched this, having seen "The Dial of Destiny" yesterday, and I'm pretty sure we're now heading in the direction of watching the three other movies after this.

Tonight we read, and we said our prayers too.  It was a full day, and it was time for a good night's rest!
