For the last two days... well, thursday and most of today. I was in fort Ticondaroga NY, at the fort. Reanacting. It's this program with the Elementary School that I've done every year except the very first year, and last year. It's where a bunch of kids (all elementary school except for Cerridwen and I who are Homeschoolers so we get to do it)

Thanks...it rocked...

we slept in real canvas tie up tents...omg...so cool.

[nowah]

haha it's pretty neat how realistic they are about it..
were there a lot of bugs?

[realitivelysane]

actually no. I'm really not sure why seeing as we were right next to a lake...maybe the cooking fires kept them away.

haha realistic...you could have taken one look in anyones tent and been right back in the 21st centuery...sleeping bags...modern clothes...but as soon as I took my jacket, hat, haversack and carteridge box off to give them back to the people who ran it...I just felt wrong....I was like..."erm" even though we did walk around in our breeches, gaiters, and shirts a couple of times...I really didn't want to leave...it's a lot of fun.

Cerridwen and I, the biggest baddest Germans of the bunch.

Hehe. Looks like you had fun!

[realitivelysane]

Yes we did.

According to Cerridwen I actually looked like a german...it was scary to think that I looked like a male german soldier. From the back I was convincing...or so she said haha.

but we were the best soldiers of the germans...the rest of them (besides Ali) never did what Ali said...I had to yell at them...I was like...the sargent right hand man who told the rest of them what to do when they didn't listen to him...haha.
