History Lesson

We did the funnest thing ever! We went to a Civil war reenactment and it was just such a blast. (no pun intended) I even learned so many things about the Civil war that I never knew. It was great to see such an important part of our U.S history.


This is my GGG grandfather General "Jeb" Stuart who was probably the most famous cavalryman of the Civil War. Do you see a resemblance?
Some people got really into it and got all dressed up. These ladies were having a real old fashioned picture taken with a REALLY old camera. They had to sit there like that FOREVER. It is no wonder no one smiled back then! lol

This was Garrett's first cotton candy experience.

Also Lulu's first and hopefully their last. What a mess!

Lulu loved the jump rope!

Happy girl

He loves pretending to be a confederate soldier. He had to be a confederate after J.E.B Stuart of course. Although I must say I am glad the Union one the war! Can you imagine what a different country it would be if the opposite happened? Do you think we would still have slaves?

Ha ha. This picture is so cute. It is funny though because General McClellan is obviously a Union soldier. But Garrett was so cute he made an exception even though he was on the "wrong team" lol

Daddy and Garrett watching the reenactment

Abraham Lincoln!

Fighting and stuff

It was so smoky from all the gun powder. I kinda liked the smell of it though

These are the nurses that went to take care of all the dead and wounded soldiers. See the blood? cool stuff

This is London making her angry eyebrow face. I guess she had enough for one day. Ha Ha
