This last weekend, we headed over to the Civil War Fort site at Boonesboro for their reenactment. We were thinking that we would pull up and their would be a festival, with food and booths and tons of people. What really happened was this: We packed the kids in the stroller, only to take them out to get in the shuttle bus. We were shuttled a mile down the river road and dropped off at the beginning of a 1/2 mile up hill hike to the site.
The hike was beautiful, despite me wearing flip-flops and Paul maneuvering the stroller.
The cannons were so cool!
And so were the cool old soldiers.
They all lined up and got ready to shoot off the cannon.Dallin was not too happy about that!
This guy is a carpetbagger. He was fun to talk to. He is wearing a beaver skin hat and told us about mad hatters and going crazy off of the glue that they used to make the hats with.
Ellie (Kristen) was able to make a rag doll, and has since ripped it apart! A picture of that would have been a pile of rags with stuffing spilling out of the head...I will spare you the inhumanity of it all.

That looks fun! It's exciting to be able to have these experiences. Utah doesn't really offer much in the way of Civil War reenactments.
