While Mommy had a meeting, Daddy decided to take girls around Gettysburg National Military Park. When it was all said and done, these were the girls highlights:
Jael: "We have seen guns, battlefield guns" (miming the action of cocking and shooting)
"Saw two hands and a face of a man made out of stone" (cast of Abe Lincoln)
"Saw jackets that had buttons and a jacket that had the buttons fall off because it was really too old."
"We walked in the leaves"(Along a wall near McMillan Woods)
"We talked" (about not throwing/kicking sticks)
"We got to sit on a cannon"(Reynolds Avenue)
"We got to run up a hill"
"I skipped like a Ballerina"
"We climbed a mountain" (Big Round Top)
"We Switched roads" (Jael went the direct route while Tekla, Daddy, and Saoirse took the paved switchback path)
"I (Jael) tried to kick a little tree down"
"We saw a stone wall (solders defense,the girls went up and looked over it like soldiers would have)
Tekla: "Actually saw the battlefield"
"We saw a hand" (prosthetic arm)
"We ran in the grass"
"knocked flowers off a monument" (then had a talk about respect)
