Prairie Grove Battle Anniversary

Samantha's friend Abigail had a civil war themed birthday party and we went to the Prairie Grove Battlefield where they had a little celebration commemorating the battle.

A soldier riding a horse came to the party and instructed us that President Lincoln needs volunteers for the war...Ryan was the first one to stand up and yell, "I have a sword!!" and then all the boys took off following the horse to the table to sign up for the war.

Here is Ryan signing his life away and recieving his "pay".


Thank you Sam and Ryan for being so willing to serve in the war and bring our country some peace, even though we do live in the South where people are still a little angry that the South lost the ward. ;-)
