Eagle Island Civil War Reenactment

Last week on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday was a Civil War Reenactment put on by the Idaho Civil War Volunteers. Bethany, Michaela and I (Caleb) went and volunteered and helped out where they needed it. The weather was a lot better than last year. It didn't rain but it wasn't sunny until Saturday.


Cute little Noah!


They would fire the cannon off every few hours so that all of the kids could see it in action.


No Photoshop editing here!


Matt was the drill instructor and tried to teach the volunteer group how to drill. He really plays the part really well. To put it in perspective, I was the best one besides Matt that knew the drills. When he made me go in front of him and go a couple commands, my knees were shaking while I was doing it. :)


It was really fun because when Matt would ask one of the girls how to load a rifle, she would end up laughing and then Matt would end up laughing as well.
