Fort Wilkins Re-enactment

We decided to go and watch the re-enactment at the Fort on Saturday morning. Nathan was relaxing before we went. He loves to get out of his clothes and relax with his Grandpa.

We were lucky that he kept his unders on....usually those are off too! He's so funny!
Here we are on our way to the Fort. Thought this was a really cute picture then Nathan turned around and stuck his tongue out at me. Sassy little boy! Got that shot!

This is the Battery D actors. I guess you can call them actors. They travel to many different forts and put on the re-enactment.

Here they are preparing to fire a cannon. They are training some younger men so it took a little longer.

More preparation for cannon fire. I wasn't close enough to hear everything the gentleman was telling the crowd. I was patiently waiting for them to fire so I could get a decent shot of the cannon going off.

Almost ready to fire.

WOW! That was loud! Nathan and I both jumped when that thing went off! I did manage to get a good picture of it. So cool!

The firing teams. They all have their spots they need to be in.

It was really neat to watch this and it is so very dangerous for them.

This is the sign behind the fort guiding people to the campground.

This sign is right before the bridge behind the fort.

We definitely enjoyed the cannon fire show. We kept hearing it from our campsite through out the day. Each time it went off everyone stopped and said "There goes another one!"
