Columbia Creek
Noah had fun exploring the creek with friends at Monday's park day. It was a beautiful day.
They tried to catch some minnows... slippery little devils. Noah didn't care much for the crayfish, that's when I heard him scream, tough as nails that boy:)

Civil War 1861 ~1865
It won't be long and we'll be back in Civil War mode. Noah has Civil War Camp coming up at The Dodge Turner House, then the Civil War Muster in Jackson and in Sept. we are riding a steam train were bandits will attack the train and Civil War soldiers on horseback will save the day. That should be an interesting train ride!
We found these great books at the library. Exploring History through Simple Recipes: Civil War Cooking, The Confederacy and The Union.
We are picking a few recipes from each book to make a Civil War dinner.From the Confederacy Cook book; Sweet Potato Pudding and Sally Lunn Bread with Strawberry Jam.
From the Union Cook book; Irish Stew, Cherry Cobbles and Skillet Fried Apples.
We'll post about the dinner when we make it.

Looks like the perfect summer afternoon – Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn kind of days. :-)
Can't wait to hear more about the train ride and Civil War dinner...
that park is beautiful and your photo's seem to capture the day!
the train dinner sounds like it will be a blast looking forward to hearing more about that!
wow, what a great day that must have been for the kids. Makes me want to go out on an adventure today..yup that's what I'm going to do.
I just love his ongoing enthusiasm for the Civil War. It reminds me of Emily's love for turtles. We did turtle stuff for YEARS, lol.
Hi Tara,
I'm really excited myself about the train ride;)

Tammy, LOL~ Yes, I'm afraid we'll be study Civil War forever!
That first pic is GORGEOUS!! You should see how it would look in black and white!
What a nice semi-still water to play in on a hot day. Many of our rivers are so fast and intense!
Hi Anet, just dropping by to catch up. These are awesome photos- I love the first one.
