We spent an action packed day in Eugene on Saturday attending the Civil War. The one between the North and South, not the Ducks and the Beavers. Jaden was enlisted to dig trenches and chop wood, two of his favorite things.
During the actual battle they fired the cannons and had charges spread out on the battle field so the ground would actually explode. It was very awesome.
Soldiers eating the daily rations of salted fat back and hard tack. Luckily we packed our own picnic.
The advance continues over the bodies of the dead. The actual reenactment was a good 45 min. long and was amazing. Horses, cannons, retreats, advances, buglers, you name it, they had it.
