Christmas 2008/Civil War Dunker Church

This is Dunker Church, one of the bloodest battles in the Civil War was fought in the church yard. Sept 17th 1862.

More lives were lost in one day in that battle than any other day in the war.

My Christmas gifts this year;

A new bike!, Civil War Stratego game (really fun), a Civil War book The Last Brother, Civil War action figures, Dunker Church with more action figures a digital camera, a sketch book with pencils, root beer making kit, a jaw harp, Michigan rock collection, back sack from the MI museum, Kung Fu Panda movie, candy, money from grandma and I bought a Spiderman video game with it.

It was a really fun Christmas, decorating cookies with Autumn and Caleb on Christmas eve.

We went to Bedtime Stories movie on Christmas day and had a nice dinner. The best part is just being with my family. I liked that the best! Hope your Christmas was fun ;)

Collecting Tracks...

I'm collect tracks of all kinds on my sidebar. I will post the ones that people send me here and on my sidebar. Thanks Everyone!

These tracks are from Ruth in Michigan, Chicken? Not sure, maybe mouse? Deer on a frozen river. Ruth will tell me what the first two are, I sent her my guesses. Thanks Ruth!

Vehicle Tracks from Gwen in Canada, Or maybe anaconda tracks? Thanks Gwen! :)

Pink and Say by Patricia Polacco

This is a really great story about two Civil War solders that end up helping each other and becoming the best of friends. Patricia Polacco is one of my favorite authors. She was born right here in Lansing. My mom met her at a teacher's conference years ago. She shook her hand, had her sign a book, and they discussed that they were both born at the same hospital. At the end of the Pink and Say book she tells that this story came from her father's family. Say in the story is her great grandfather who shook the hand of President Lincoln. I shook my moms hand, because she shook the hand of the hand of the hand.... who shook the hand of President Lincoln. Cool huh? You have to read the book!
