Today Jason and I, along with our friends Christie and Nathaniel, went on a field trip to Alamance Battlefield in Burlington, NC.  Every October they have something called "Colonial Week", where interpreters demonstrate a variety of things from the lives of backcountry farmers during the Colonial period.  Alamance is the site of a battle between the Regulators and the Governor's militia, about 10 years prior to the start of the American Revolution. The Regulators were farmers who were fed up with the excessive taxes and corruption of those ruling the British colony.  

It was a beautiful fall day, and the boys really enjoyed themselves.
