We've been studying the Civil War and I had high hopes for field trips to enrich our study. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to manage any trips. Much to my delight, I discovered a local Civil War re-enactment that was just an hour away. We were able to join in the activities of Blue and Gray Days for the day on Friday, October 18.

| We got to meet General Robert E. Lee. |
 |
| A visit in the military camp. |
 |
| Playing graces and other Civil War era games. |
 |
| Making beans and johnny cakes for dinner. |
 |
| We got to experience the firing of a Civil War era cannon. |
This was the perfect addition to our Civil War study. I cherish our opportunity to learn in a hands and minds on manner.
