Caroline's Courage - A Theatrical Production

Last Thursday, we learned about the War of 1812.  Caroline's family lived near the shore of Lake Erie in New York's Sacket's Harbor.
Her father was a shipbuilder.  He was taken prisoner by the British while out on the lake sailing one day.  Caroline saw firsthand how the War of 1812 affected the US citizens.
To really understand Caroline's story, we read a play based on the first book in the Caroline series.  In the book, Caroline displays great, unselfish courage.
All the girls played a part in our script table reading while we enjoyed food of the time period - gingerbread cookies and biscuits and honey.
Great voice acting, ladies.

Next week, we will be heading out to meet the Dials' horses in Port Orchard.  Please be on time.  I will have permission slips to sign.  Please have the $1.25 for the bridge fee.  We will leave at 10 a.m. and return for lunch.  Please pray for a sunny day : )!
