battle of shiloh

 One of the many things we love about living here is access to so many historical sites.  The day we went to the drive thru zoo we went to the Battle of Shiloh.  We were excited to go, as it is one of the sites we have been hoping to visit.

 The only thing I am disappointed about is that I didn't bring my camera or my phone so I didn't get any pictures of the girls with grandpa and grandma!  Jeff got some good shots of the girls.  Everyone who worked at the site were so nice and there was a dress up area the girls could have played in all day.  It was a nice reprieve from the heat.

 There was a little section that had items the soldiers would have carried with them and Caimbree thought they were there for her.  We could hardly get her away!!  She loved the pot and was having a great time playing with everything.  It was fun and we definitely want to go back when it isn't so hot and we can spend more time reading and learning more.  The battlefield is huge and there is so much to learn!
