Civil War Day

Every year at Heritage Digital Academy they have 'Civil War Day'. It's a day full of activities for the kids - From 9am - 9pm!!! - ranging from riffle handling to cooking to war marching moves and how to load a cannon! Kyle had so much fun and learned a lot. They even brought in an 'Abraham Lincoln' actor to give a speech to the kids! What fun!

At the end of the day the kids are given an hour to get ready for the cotillion. I went and helped Kyle out - we had so much fun! We were supposed to put her hair in and up-do with curls. But Kyle was so cold that she asked if we could just curl it and leave it down. So, that is what we did. From 6pm to 9pm was the dance. They learned all sorts of dance moves, and put them into practice. Of course, boys will be boys, and they just didn't pay attention. The girls got frustrated (you know how much girls like to dance!) and kept telling the boys what the next move was and where to go! ;o)



Here is a picture I took of Kyle & Maddie. I wanted to get a 'period traditional' shot with them. So, I asked them to not smile...man was that hard for them. It was so much fun! After the 'serious' shot, I took one of them smiling - and boy were they happy for that one!

Blessings!!!
