Civil War Re-enactment~Battle of Spokane Falls

CHMschooloutside

Memorial Day we went to a Civil War re-enactment.  This wasn’t our first time.  Missed last year because the kids and I were on Road trip 2010 to visit my cousins in Minnesota.  And to say ‘see you later’ to my cousin Jamie. I blogged here about one previous visit to the re-enactment.  This year the price went way up…the last time we went it was $11 Monday we paid $10 per adult and $5 per child.  There were a few changes that I noticed in the camps. Not enough to warrant $25 admission though Sad smile  

Below are pictures I managed to get.  The kids went off with friends so not many, if any, with them.

I do believe this is a replica….correct me if I am wrong…you know, if you are a history buff.
