As you can see by the slide show we have been keeping busy. We took the trip to Shiloh for the annual reenactment to go along with the lapbook unit on the Civil War we have been working on. It has been interesting for both TT and myself to learn about he Civil War. I never really learned much about it in school and what better way to learn about it than to go and see where the battles were fought.
It was really neat to see the soldiers all dressed and acting out the battle. The cannons were loud and smoky, and the muskets were quieter than we thought they would be. We also were able to meet some interesting participants that were there to represent the Union army and navy. Each person took the time to discuss their role and information with us. It was fascinating.
I do recommend going to any reenactment near your hometown. It was definitely worth the drive.
