Only they will learn more your family actually seeing and being part of it each year. I wish i could have done something like that when my children were young. So enjoy it while you can. Thanks for the lovely story and real cute pictures of your family. joanniesjoanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09523641799341962670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208576671123195679.post-16814015194022448382012-11-28T01:08:22.938-06:002012-11-28T01:08:22.938-06:00We took my family to a civil war reinactment last ...We took my family to a civil war reinactment last summer and has a blast (litteraly). I was loud and seemed so calm and different from the wars you see on tv. We talked to the actors and learned about the different teams and costumes. It was cool and we all enjoyed it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150605934959307992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208576671123195679.post-59671115959084650782012-11-28T01:07:18.594-06:002012-11-28T01:07:18.594-06:00I love all the photos!

I have 5 kids so I can totally relate to wanting to take a photo of each of them. My facebook friends were hit with 40+ pictures of our Thanksgiving we spent with another family we know who also has 5 little ones, LOL!Shellyluwhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861853321951134694noreply@blogger.com
