"How?" you ask?
Well, there's this portal. And a horse. My talking horse
named Liberty.
And--well, just trust me, I'll get us there. We'll begin by joining a shipload
of brave families journeying on the Mayflower in 1620 Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims. Yawn? I don't think so.
1620 was a pretty awesome time, and you'll experience exactly what they did on
that rough, dangerous ocean crossing. Together, we'll ask the pilgrims all our
questions, find out how they live, join them at the first Thanksgiving, and
much more. So saddle up and let's ride! Our exceptional nation is waiting to be
discovered all over again by exceptional young patriots-- like you !
Then, we move on to another adventure...Rush Revere and the American Revolution
There is an extra-special part of this
trip, that right here in the
twenty-first century, Cam's dad is a soldier fighting in Afghanistan, and Cam
has been pretty angry that he is away. Visiting with exceptional American
heroes like Dr. Joseph Warren and George Washington, racing along after Paul
Revere on his midnight ride, and seeing the Declaration of Independence signed
make Cam see his own dad in a new and special
way.
The American Revolution has begun. Join
us on this incredible time-travel adventure Liberty, my wisecracking horse, our
old friends Cam, Tommy, Freedom, and I are off to meet some super-brave
soldiers in the year 1775. Yep, that's right. We'll be visiting with the
underdog heroes who fought for American independence, against all odds--and won
But not before eight very real years of danger and uncertainty. Be a part of
Rush Revere's crew as we rush, rush, rush into a time when British rule had
become a royal pain, and rebellion was in the air. We'll be on hand to see two
lanterns hung in the Old North Church,
prevent a British spy from capturing Paul Revere, and grapple with danger at
the battles of Lexington, Concord,
and Bunker Hill But don't worry. Along with the danger, excitement, and
patriotism, there will still be time to stop for a delicious spinach, oats, and
alfalfa smoothie. No, wait--that one's for Liberty. The kids and I voted for
strawberries. Now let's open the magic portal to the past.
