Independance Day

United States Capital drawn by Ian with stencil.

Ian calculated that the United States is 236 years old this year.  We celebrated our country's birthday by attending a dinner party and watching fireworks.  We also read about Michelle Obama's "no-beet" White House Garden, past presidents, and the history of the Liberty Bell.  Ian is especially interested in the Liberty Bell and would like to visit it in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Books:  First Garden: The White House Garden and How it Grew by Gourley;  The President's Stuck in the Bathtub by Katz;  The Liberty Bell by Ashley;  K is for Keystone: A Pennsylvania Alphabet by Kane
