Soccer Time

Breakfast before an early morning game.

This kid loves the wide open soccer fields. Running, finding garbage, and trying to escape our sight at all times.

Most of you may know that my husband is NOT a fan of soccer. Not even a little. However, he has tried to support their interest in the sport and the kids have enjoyed it. It's a lot more fun to watch than baseball, that's for sure. I do not have a good picture of Jack above because he was uncooperative this particular morning. Our last game is this Saturday so I'll have to snap some action shots of the little fella when he isn't looking.

Confederate Memorial Park

These guys showed up proper formation, their bayonets, what a black powder bullet looks like, uniform, and then they shot their guns.

Here, we are discussing some of the important components of the cannon.

Below is an example of the different types of foods they ate. We learned that 1/3 of the soldiers died form malnutrition or disease. They had extreme difficulty getting the food to the soldiers. One thing we found comical; the north always had coffee and the south always had tobacco. So, during the nights when they weren't fighting they would sneak out and meet with each other outside of camp to trade. Many times brother fought against brother, or parent against child.  Hints  the nickname "Brother's War"

What a very cool field trip we took to the Confederate Memorial Park. We learned so much than mentioned above. The boys truly enjoyed it and I was afraid they would find it boring. They asked the demonstrators questions and paid attention. In fact, they were sad when we had to leave and asked if we could come back the next day.

Easter in a Breeze

Happy Resurrection Day! Boo to me for BARELY getting any pictures of the day.
