The only station I got pictures and videos of was this one, shooting the rifles. The guns were laid out on the ground in two rows, and the kids lined up behind them. Then the leader instructed them on how to pick up and hold the gun.
What a cold, windy day! Our school was split into 3 groups, and there were also several other groups, and we all started at a different station and spent 15 or so minutes learning something about the Civil War before moving on to the next station. At some point, someone got backed up so each group had to wait a little bit before the group ahead of them finished. We still had 4 stations to go when all the groups decided they'd had enough and everyone left. Since we drove separately, we were able to visit one more station before the re-enactors packed up. The only station I got pictures and videos of was this one, shooting the rifles. The guns were laid out on the ground in two rows, and the kids lined up behind them. Then the leader instructed them on how to pick up and hold the gun. Like I said, it was windy! The leader showed the kids how to stand and change hands and stuff. Some of the other stations were a little boring, but everyone enjoyed this one. They did left-face and right-face and marched around in a circle. All I can say is, it's a good thing they've got a few years left to work on their coordination before they can join the military! It was a lot of fun to watch!

Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
