Civil War

This past weekend we all went to The Selma Re-enactment. I have been going to this for about 16 years or so, with a few misses here and there. This is the second time David, William, and I have been and Lily's first time to go. We had a great time! We got to buy a new tent, which was very exciting to William. He likes that it is green, which we all know means that it is a John Deere tent! William also was very happy to get two new guns ( a pistol and a shotgun), a new canteen, and a new haversack in the deal. He was a real "soldier" and was proud of it! I think William and Lily were sort of a hit for all the spectators. They got their pictures taken constantly. It did seem as though we were the exhibits and the spectators were looking at us in our habitats, but we asked for it. It is rewarding to teach people about such an important part of our nation's history and such a different way of life.
