A couple of weeks ago we had he privilege of spending the weekend at my in-laws and attending the War of 1812 re-enactment. This is an event that our family looks forward to in the fall. A day full of candle makers, canons, hot kettles, soap makers, spinners, weavers, blacksmiths, potters, magicians, clowns, and good food. This year was unseasonably warm (pushing 80) unlike most years where you are looking for a hot fire to warm your hands by. It was a great day overall, an event that is fun for all ages.
Most of the vendors and participants set up tents and the like in which they actually spend the entire weekend.
Watching a spinning demonstration and learning new games, all a part of the day.
I think every public school within a 20 mile radius was joining us, not sure, but it was definitely a full house.
The day was brought to an end by the taking down of the American flag, a great ending to a beautiful day. It’s days like these that we seem to learn the most and to really appreciate what we are learning.
I hope this gives you a glimpse of what our day was like:)
