It was a gorgeous day today so I made a last minute decision this morning to go check out one of our local Civil War battlefields. We’ve been learning about the Civil War in school, so this was a great visual lesson for the kids. The Battle of Lexington was fought about 1.5 hours from us and was the Confederate’s strongest win during the first year of the war. You can still see where trenches were dug and there are plenty of bullet holes in the main house that was under fire and captured. Of course the boys were fascinated with anything to do with guns and battles!
My generous hearted son spent his own money to buy a special souvenir for Daddy (who was at work today).
Love your field trip. We did a similar one this summer to Vicksburg National Military Park. Jacob bought one of the cannons too! What a sweet boy you have!
you are such a cool mom!
I totally agree with Amy!
Such a thoughtful and sweet boy!
