1st, we went to the Revolutionary War section.
Here Choclo and Oob are watching a short Revolutionary War video and then--I think--looking into barrels to smell the kind of food that they had in that time(you know, the kind that molds fast--I decided to skip that section).
Next, we did the Civil War (not to be mistaken for a civilized war) in which we learned (painfully) how long setting up for a picture could take, which explained why there were very few pictures had people smiling in them.
we should do a less, shall we say,
somber picture. Please observe.
We had a fabulous time with the WWI/WWII (our Grammie Ann was a WAVe in WWII--and she reads this blog; go Grammie!) and Cold War sections (no pictures, though...) and then did the War of Vietnam! This was what we'd been looking forward to, having our grandfather as a Vietnam Vet and all, and we learned that the Vietnam War was noted as a "TV War" (though I have no idea what so many cameramen were doing in the middle of a full-fledged war) and
even got a photo or two of us next to a helicopter from the V. War.
And we are up to the 21st century on our history unit! We'll post the '80s, '90s, and '00s in later posts!
