Back to Gettysburg, w/boys, Aug.14 & 15, 2010

Last weekend, we traveled with Raegan & Abby to Gettysburg, PA. The girls seemed to enjoy it, so we headed back with Carter & Drew.

Saturday morning: "Come on Bampa, let's get going!"

Granite Hill Campground even had our same site from last week vacant!

Swinging is always a fun thing to do........


As well as "working in the sand".....



Gymnastics in progress......

"Ta Da!!..........."

Taking a break with Grandmom.....been busy smore eating & flashlight huntin'





Pool time!.........These kids have seal blood in their veins!


Drew gets driving lessons from Grandmom.........

Carter's driving style?.....Pedal-to-the-metal !!


Hayride time........


Sunday morning we drove through the Gettysburg battleground. Bampa's favorite battle leader is General Longstreet.........

We stopped to listen to a group of re-enactors explain how an artillery battery worked, including a live demonstration of the cannon..........

Ka-Boom !!.........Everybody was ready for the noise.........
"Drew, do ya remember how they made this thing work?"...........

The battlefield has several observation towers. The boys and Grandmom decided to make the climb.............


At the top..........


Horse tours passing next to the Barth......


When touring the battlefield, horses have the right-of-way.......


Then it was lunch in the motorhome, mass at the Seton Bascilica in Emmitsburg, an ice cream stop in Thurmont and we headed home.
Great weekend guys!.......Let's take another trip soon !!
