The Battle of Perryville and Hayride/Bonfire

(October 2, 2010)

This Saturday was particularly busy! Football games that morning, then on to a family activity more than an hour's drive away, then back home to a hayride and bonfire get together at the home of some church friends! Busy, but FUN!

Last year was our first year attending the Battle of Perryville in Perryville, KY. It was apparently a major Civil War battle and the town hosts this reenactment every year. I have to say that I enjoyed it just as much or more than the kids last year so I insisted that we go again this year. Unfortunately, since we could not get there early, we did not get good seats so the view was not as good as last year, but we still enjoyed the battle and the vendors set up with merchandise from that era.




Once we returned home from the battle, Andy and Clayton had their first Cub Scout campout while me and the other 3 attended a hayride and bonfire. Roasted hot dogs and s'mores - doesn't get much better than that! What a great way to end a fun day!
