Civil War Day
Yesterday we went to an event focusing on the Civil War. It was mainly geared towards homeschoolers, and around 3oo kids showed up! We knew quite a bit of people, so it was nice to spend time with friends. What they did was that they separated us into 12 groups and they had us rotate to 12 different stations which focused on different things in that time era. It was all at an old house outside of Eagle Point, so we got to learn about that house, the guns, fashions, life as a soldier and surgeon in the war, and certain people during that time, like Clara Barton. They fired off a real canon, but it wasn't loaded, though it was still very LOUD! I love that time era, so I learned a lot and really enjoyed. Above is a sideshow of pics from it. I couldn't find any other music, so it doesn't really fit.
Today mom and all the kids left to visit Mummu (mom's mom) and I stayed behind because of school and stuff. It sure is going to be weird without them at the house.
Well I got to go and catch up on yard work.
Have a nice weekend!

Nice slide show Kaila and I bet your Dad and you will have some fun times while they are gone. I know you will miss them and they will miss you..
Kaila I'm sorry I haven't been on lately but those cruise ships internet are very slow. It was good to see you today as I sure missed you and your blog. Thanks for sharing the street witnessing (very well written), the slide show on fall and the Civil War Days. You are a great writer and put great slide shows together. I love you,
