Happy Memorial Day!!

We are sad to see this weekend come to an end, but it was really a lot of fun. We went on a few long family walks, Teddy included, got stuff done, chilled, and had fun.

Today we had a lot of fun! We went to Camp Floyd and the Stagecoach Inn State Park for a Civil War reenactment. It wasn't really a reenactment, but they had 10 or so tents set up, people in Civil War era clothing giving demonstrations, and there were lots of activities for kids. Henry was not quite old enough to participate, but Nate was!

Nate got to fire a musket. They made him use ear plugs and protective eye wear. They also assured me that it was quite safe. I'm still not sure if they were just trying to be all gentlemanly, like during Civil War times, or if they really thought I was worried. If I would have had another dollar or they'd had change I would have shot it myself.

Henry did NOT like wearing the solider hat. I think it was because it was a Yankee one. Smart boy. (Confederate hats were not available.)


He got to pet a horse. I don't think they cared for each other.

The Boy Scouts are going to put up a flag in front of our house for all of the National holidays this year. All of the flags they are using actually flew in Afghanistan or Iraq. Kinda cool!
