There were other boats in the water

George- there is a rowboat going to the left of the viewer

MJ- they were going across an icy river

F- five people in the boat were rowing

George- the water was full of bits of ice and behind them were guys with horses pushing a raft.

MJ- on the other side of the river(the side the boat is going to) there was a field with trees.

F- the sky was cloudy with the sun

G- there was a guy in front of the rowboat he was pushing the ice with a stick

MJ- George Washington had a sword in his belt.

F- one of the guys on the boat was holding an American flag.

G- it was really windy- everyone was holding on to their hats and the flag was blowing crazily.

MJ- the sky was pink gray white and orange. daytime.  sunrise.

F- almost all of the people on the boat had hats.

G- There were two mounted horses on the rowboat behind them

MJ- George Washington was wearing Red White and Blue.

MJ- yeah

F- It looked like they were going to a war.

G- George Washington was standing up with one knee up.

The person behind him with the flag was standing up as well but everyone else was sitting in the boat.

MJ- there was a person at the front of the boat putting his feet in the water.

F- they were all guys and one of the guys was squatting.

G- there were a bunch of boats in the background- going off into the distance.  A lot a lot a lot.
