We had a great time at the Revolutionary War re-enactment and learned a lot more than the quote-title suggests! Most of the costumed volunteers/re-enactors were very helpful and informative.
I tried getting pictures of all our friends in costume, but we missed a couple. : {
I'll commentate as we go along, per usuality.
 |
| General Washington (far right) and some of his men |
 |
| This guy was so nice and helpful! |
 |
| The man on the left is a former dance teacher. |
 |
| The men in white uniforms got it lucky! It was really hot outside, and all the soldiers in those thick, dark, layered uniforms were sweating profusely. Poor guys XD. |
 |
| Two of our 7 or 8 friends who re-enacted that day! |
 |
| The British/loyalist soldiers listened very considerately to General Washington's inspiring speech XD. 2 more friends featured here. |
 |
| Not sure what happened to this picture...guess it uploaded wrong. A friend from church. |
 |
| At one point they let the children charge the British soldiers, and everyone had a great time... |
 |
| ...well, everyone but the soldiers who had to play dead. Some of those kids were brutal, ha-ha! |
 |
| Another friend from church in there somewhere. |
Overall, it was a very educational and fun experience, and we look forward to attending the BIG re-enactment in a neighboring city next month (that one will be mostly Civil War) where we'll be seeing a lot of these same friends re-enact!
And here's one just for fun from around the house.

Great pictures! I love this kind of stuff ^__^ Thanks for sharing!!
How neat! I love all the pictures!
I have very fond memories of going to a Civil War reenactment in Phoenix with my family. It was a blast!
I'm glad you all were able to enjoy it!
