We all had a great time! We definitely had to bring the sunscreen, though. It was 90 degrees and very humid! But, even though the weather was a bit hot, we didn't seem to mind.
Lexi did not like these sheep! I don't know why, but her face in this picture pretty much sums up her feeling of these animals.
When we first arrived, we went right over to see the start of the re-enactment. Notice my hair is down, but that only lasted for about 5 minutes. It got put up after sweating to death :) So, for the rest of the pics I am sporting a pony tail!
Attention! Lexi really liked watching this more than we thought she would
I made a ribbon rose to show my support for the war!
They were showing how to fire a cannon. Chris really got into this.
Ahh, horses. Have I told you Lexi is obsessed with horses? Seriously, she was in awe when they all rode by.
1, 2, 3, 4, March!
Lexi kept saying, "Those are big guns" over and over and over...
This picture just makes me laugh. we were taking a tour of one of the old houses and we looked over and saw Christine just chilling with her foot up! It was so funny!
Close up
The end of the 2 hour re-enactment, no we did not sit and watch the whole thing from start to finish, but we did go to the closing ceremony, it was pretty rad
They had old artifacts and historical documents and things that made Chris very happy.
I took this picture of Christine why Lexi was riding the carousel with Dad. Shh, don't tell Lex that Christine stole her flag!
To end our day, we went to Red Robin to grab some late lunch, we were starving by 3 o clock! Lexi got a green balloon from the place which made her very, very happy. Green is her favorite color, by the way. Anyways, it was really fun to spend Memorial Day together and reflect on those who serve our country.
