Washington Crossing

We could't very well take Quin out of preschool for 2 weeks and not go on any educational field trips, right? So, we went on up to Washington Crossing today, which is on the way to Gigi's barn. We had a little visit with her horse January when we dropped her off at the incredible barn she rides at:

What a sweet horse!

Reading historical info with Papa.

Checking out the turtles, geese, and fish in the Delaware.

We didn't go into detail about the attacks that followed this crossing by the Continental Army, but perhaps someday we'll come back when the kids are a little older. For now it sure was a lovely spot for a peaceful picnic lunch on a beautiful fall day.
