Our family LOVES history. Nerdsville? Absolutely!
So knowing our love of all this historical, what could be better than history camp? Not much!
The boys attended a four day camp which focused on the Civil War. They were divided up between Union and Confederate solders (Sam and Luke were Union) and learned all about the war by having reenactments, skirmishes, musket drilling ("cock, aim, fire!") and marches. Since we live so close to many of the battle fields, there was also a trip to Antietam Battlefield. Watching the boys in their uniforms, perform reenactments on the ACTUAL battlefields was nothing short of magical. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are so lucky to live here!
