On Thursday morning I took the children to see our first civil war re-enactment. This was a small, surprise re-enactment. The Confederate Calvary thought they were just passing through my sister's neighbor's 180+ acre farm, but little did they know, Union snipers were awaiting them.
Up on the hill behind the brush, snipers waited for the Confederate soldiers.
And then a surprise mini-attack ensued. It lasted maybe 10-15 minutes, until all 175 men on horses came down the hill and "fought."
It was fun (and free) and historically accurate. Usually civil war re-enactments charge money, but this was on private property with a private party. Including a free pit ham breakfast at 8:00 a.m.

my 3 yol and I tried your soap today. I'm glad I was supervising, he immediately tried to eat it. Can't blame him, it smells exactly like chocolate mint. Yum yum.
