The Ballard Boys Go Colonial...

Colonial Williamsburg, that is...  It was a Beautiful Anniversary Trip back in time to enjoy Christmas Time in Colonial Williamsburg! 


After a short Bus ride downtown, the Ballard Boys began their day in colonial times...

Ballard Boys Always Consult Their Maps...


The Amateur Gun Enthusiasts that they are, the Ballard Boys began their visit at the Magazine. Checking out all the Colonial Weapons, Gun Powder, and Uniforms!

 Back on the Trail...



Cellars, were also on the List... but not quite the basement full of toys that They were Expecting...

Quick Wrestling Match on the Grounds of the Governor's Palace!

Then a Little Game of Tag in the Gardens...

After Their Atrocious Behavior on the Palace Gardens...


And when Punishment didn't work... We Enlisted Them in the Williamsburg Independent Company of the Virginia Militia!







The Only Sure thing The Ballard Boys Learned Successfully was the Double Arm Surrender!



William was All Business in Formation! He did Not like the Sergeant yelling at him! James, well... he is not too intimidated by Authority... Not too worried that the Military is in Either of the Ballard Boys Furtures...
