We were able to visit the Boston Tea Party museum while in Boston last week. Truly a great experience with some great people playing the parts of the original colonists who weren't very happy about English taxes. We each were given a feather and a card with information about one of the members of the original tea party participants on them. Some of the kids in the audience had speaking parts and I have to say they chose well because one of the little girls really played her part with vigor! After we were all fired up about the injustice of a tea tax we boarded the ship to do the deed--which Caleb and Ava seemed to enjoy. After all of the tea was disposed up we entered a museum area and at that point I felt like we were in the Mormon Battalion visitors center when the people in the picture frames started talking to each other. It was great! |
