Dad's birthday weekend found our family (plus Bee, affectionately known as Katie's appendage) and some dear friends stepping back a decade and a half to the Battle of Olustee, FL. Unfortunately, we didn't take many groups shots, but various visitors and newspapers took care of that for us! *wink*
One of the major highlights of the weekend (for the girls, at least) was the ball. After counting the votes, we found that Uncle Buddy and Mr. Harrison were by far the best and most amiable partners of the evening!
And we cannot remember the excuse for the reenactment and all its joys: the battle itself. Few times do I feel more awe than when I watch such an excellent representation of history, such a clear picture of the cost of freedom.
*sigh* What a lovely weekend!
