July 4, 2014:How Old IS Papa, Anyway.

It's Independence Day.
We celebrate with our family, and this year, we're celebrating tomorrow more than today, but we went outside and lit some sparklers.  We love sparklers.
But that didn't keep us from watching these videos:

Fireworks by Schoolhouse Rocks
The Shot Heard 'Round The World
No More Kings

And we end up with this one:

Now, as you may or may not know, my father served in the U.S. Senate for 18 years.  E knows this, because when we discussed the Congress and such during her social studies section in school this year we talked a little bit about what that means.

While watching the Preamble video, she gets a really pensive look on her face and asks me, "so, did Papa sign the Constitution?"
Me: No, kid, he's not that old.
E: But he is pretty old.  So I figured he was probably there.
