Mandy's 1st Reenactment
April 26th and 27th The Keokuk Reenactment, the battle of Pea Ridge, here we are packed and ready to go. Mandy was quite a chatterbox on the way up.
We left at 7:00 and arrived at 8:15, then we unpacked and set up the A frame tent, changed into our period clothing and visited with other reenactors we had not seen since last year
Our tent was situated at the end of the others, the small A frame on the right with the lantern sticking out in front.
Dad had put Mandy's dresss on backwards, so Anne in the next tent over helped out, and also tied a nice bow in the other ribbon.
We were camped in back of a nice little pond, you can see our small A frame tent if you look to Mandy's left, it is the first small tent you see.
During our visiting we met Abe Lincoln again, he is at many of the reenactments
This is the sutlers camps, they are the venders who sell things at the reenactments
and of course carriagge rides
