July 2008.
In the end, Christy proves to have better aim.
Grandma Ruth Ann and Aunt Sara came for the weekend and we spent a Saturday afternoon at the Appomattox Court House National Historic Park, about 20 minutes from our house.
We began by listening to this Confederate Soldier retell his story.
The kids did a good job sitting with Grandma Ruth Ann, listening as he recounted the events leading up to surrender of the Confederate troops.
A view of the village as its been reconstructed.
Many of the buildings are original.
Lauren enjoyed some fence post walking.
Josh behind bars in the jail.
Lisa and the kids with Grandma Ruth Ann and Aunt Sara.
The part I enjoyed the most was the story of the surrender of arms and the demonstration of respect shown to the Confederates by the Federals.
We all enjoyed the day trip.
