He has a flag pole that he loves to fly a variety of flags on along with the American flag. Just this week, he flew the Saint Andrew's Cross. He also has the Rampant Lion which will fly in our valley wind at least every other week.<br /><br />We went to a celebration that included the reading of the Declaration of Independence and the famous speech by Patrick Henry that ended with "Give me liberty or give me death!" Ben and Anna played a big game of capture the flag with other homeschooling families.<br /><br />BTW, when Anna got the blossom rot on her tomatoes, she said, "At least it isn't as many plants as our friend in Scotland!" :-)<br /><br />Leslie<br />(Anna's Momma)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786295343099939601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-70776040343807593022010-07-04T02:39:49.346+01:002010-07-04T02:39:49.346+01:00*sniff* It's touching to see y'all from th...*sniff* It's touching to see y'all from the UK celebrating OUR national holiday more than many Americans even do!<br />Y'all are troopers for learning the anthem! I've been singing it all my life, so I've never really thought of it as difficult. (except for the really high note on "and the rockets' red GLARE")<br /> I love the pavlova!

I don't know if I am the only one feeling sentimental, but it really got to me. You probably have no idea how this has blessed us... not to mention what a lot of great ideas. It makes me wish all of my kids were little again so I could do more of these things...perhaps when the grandkids are bigger :) Speaking of "The Star Spangled Banner", you should research the story behind the song. It is really interesting. Many blessings to you. Oh, by the way, were all the families homeschool families? I was just curious to know how the homeschool movement is in Scottland. What a delight you all are. Also I ditto Rachel and Sarah's<br />question. <br />Many Blessings<br />Love PamPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17962395509313703071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-54664704985524218632010-07-03T20:58:38.069+01:002010-07-03T20:58:38.069+01:00That is so neat!

It is one of my favorite songs, and my sister and I like to have singing competitions with it. ;) I usually have to sing it quite low, because my voice usually dies out completly on the high notes!

Your cake was beautiful, all your decorations and your flag! I had to show my husband! He loved it :) It looked like it was a success!

The high notes are certainly very high! :) But it is beautiful when sung correctly! :) Fife and drums are my favorite sort of American Patriotic music! You all did a GREAT job with your 4th of July celebration! :) I know I will sound ignorant, but, in Scotland, what is the equivilant of our 4th of July? I mean, do you all have a special National Holiday? Perhaps my sisters and I can learn the Scottish national anthem and sing it on that day! :) -RachelRachel and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01932147946040594451noreply@blogger.com
