Who says the Civil War is over?

As many of you know, we took in some Civil War sights on our vacation, and Andrew has really taken an interest in it. Well, I was working at home today, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few photos of Andrew as he re-enacts the Civil War in our front yard. I must say, he really looks the part. Someone gave him the hat, and he got the shirt/jacket in Fredricksburg, VA.

Here he is taking careful aim at a troop of rebs coming through the trees and calling for reinforcements or leading a charge.

What a joy it is to watch him as he really gets into his character. Turning our front yard into a battlefield, from the noise you sometimes hear, one would think there really was an army out there fighting him.

Down below the sword comes out, desperate times, perhaps a bayonet charge? Better go, now he has seen me and I don’t want him to charge me
