Tecumseh

Amazingly, we went to see Tecumseh last night.  The forecast called for rain all day and it was storming in Chillicothe right before we left.  And apparently it was raining cats and dogs in Columbus while we were there.  But, the weather was perfect for the outdoor drama.

And Wm loved it!  He said it was "AWESOME!"  He said his favorite part was the big battle scene (we were sitting, literally, in the closest seats you could be in to the big cannons, so I was a little nervous that would freak him out). He watched it with his fingers stuffed in his ears, but his eyes were huge and glued to the "stage."  As soon as it opens, an Indian rides a horse through a pond and gallops it up a hill right next to where we were sitting.  Wm's mouth dropped open and he was riveted.  He got a little bored during all the talk about treaties and war planning (frankly, so did I) - and he could have cared less about the love story parts - but he loved the battles, the Indian dancing, and the army drills.

We didn't get home until midnight.  Wm's latest night ever!  The show didn't end until almost 11 and then it's an hour drive home.  Wm CRASHED in the car, we carried him up to bed, and he slept until after 9AM!

We got Wm a little toy old-timey pistol in the gift shop. 

The "stage" - and it continued up the hill along side of us as well.
