Our Ancestors and a Field Trip

In anticipation of Tulip Time, Brighton's Second Grade class did some studying about Holland's History and our Dutch Heritage.  This culminated in a field trip to the Capon House and the Settler's House on Brighton's Birthday.  Jon went as a chaperone.  It was perferct that is was Brighton's birthday, but Jon also distinctly remembers missing this same field trip as a child.  He was sick on that day in third grade, so Jon finally got to go.  
Brighton did need to find out some basic information about his ancestors . He is holding the yellow worksheet that we filled out together with this information in the pic below.  What we discovered is that we are really, really Dutch :)
