Battlefield Park, Prairie Grove

We went to the Battlefield Park in Prairie Grove where we learned about the Confederate Army in the Battle of Prairie Grove. It's one of the most intact Civil War battlefields. When we saw the original houses, we explained to Julia how those people did not have light, running water, indoor bathrooms, or t.v.'s She didn't like the idea of no t.v. for sure. We saw wagons and explained how they were used in place of cars. We also talked to her about the military, war and how the men and women fought for our freedoms. She was more concerned with the playground at the end of the trail. OH well, we tried to teach her some history. . .

The weather was perfect so we also took the opportunity to take some outdoor pictures.
