Sonny at Fort William Henry

By 1689, the British and French were the predominate nations in the New World. Wars for land, water passages and trade had been fought between these nations for years on the European continent, spilling over into North America. The final conflict, 1754-1763, is known as the French & Indian War and the Seven Years War.
Sitting atop a small rise, Fort William Henry commanded the southern end of Lake George November 1755 to August 1757. The Fort’s history is short but its final tumultuous days have been retold, although inaccurately, in the  “Last of the Mohicans” by James Fennimore Cooper
Sonny went to Ft. William Henry with my long time friend and his Godmother Kitty Brooks.We thought it would be a great adventure for him to be on instead of being at the baby shower, plus it gave him the opportunity to spend time with Kitty.
On Friday night he stayed with his cousins, Andy and TIf, and his little cousin Brianna. He loves being with them. He got to see their new little kitten and of course fell absolutely in love with him.

Here are some pictures from Ft. Henry.

Yes I think a stockade would be a good thing to have !!!
Last but not least, Aunt Kitty took him apple picking !!

They walked around Lake George for a bit before going back home, where they made Rice Krispie Treats and watched movies. Sonny had a great time with his Aunt Kitty.
