An Ode to the Boston Tea Party

Today we learned about Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence. We discussed some of the things the American Patriots wanted freedom from, including freedom from taxes on their tea. Back in the day, people refused to buy different goods from England, including tea. So, we're drinking lemonade in rebellion:) I was sure to let the kids know, we are currently on good terms with England, especially after Eden E. commented that she used to live there.
