Saturday afternoon we took a field trip to the battlefield in our town, It was really interesting!  I think it sparked some interest in history (praise the Lord).  I know when you see things like artifacts or houses that have a story to them it really does make a difference in the understanding.  Michael said he thought that the war would be boring, but said he changed his mind. I really learned alot myself about how hard it was for the soldiers to walk so far, fight out in the open field, and how they had to make their way across massive amounts of brush and tree's in the 100 deg. temperatures. We saw an old uniform, swords, supplies, medicines etc.  It was all in all a very interesting time.
