We took the boys to Baltimore for the NCAA Lacrosse Final Four. It was our last hurrah before Zach leaves for his mission. The games on Saturday were great and the weather was nice. Unfortunately, Cornell, who we became big fans of last year at the finals, lost. So, we had to pick an new team to cheer for. Duke. The finals were played on Monday so.... on Sunday we took the boys for a little visit to Gettysburg. WOW.
To begin the non-stop teasing of their mother, they secretly bought confederate hats and a flag to greet me as we left the visitor's center and returned to the car.......
...hats that they wore the rest of the day.
the 20th Maine Monument
Little Round Top
Looking over the Valley of Death
Always playing- notice the flying saucer, it's a popper that Zach popped off of the wall of the castle monument down to the waiting Peter.
Devil's Den
Once again, we run into a wedding on vacation. What are the odds??? This one was a bit more traditional than the last one.
Soldier's National Cemetery
Rows and rows and rows of flags.
It is hard to describe the feelings experienced as we walked all over the battlefield. Knowing that my Great-great grandfathers fought for the South made the emotions even more tender.
Sacred, hallowed ground.
THE BIG GAME
Duke vs. Notre Dame
unbelievably hot!!!!
Duke wins-glad we bought the t-shirts.
I love my boys,what a great weekend!
These two are going to miss each other.
(just a note, all of his life, and I do mean-ALL, Peter has made faces of one kind or another in our family pictures)
