Ft. Osage trip with the Cub Scouts

Cole is a Bear scout this year, and loving it again!  Today was our first field trip of the year.  We went to Ft. Osage in Sibley, Missouri.  The boys had a great time, and I think the parents did too (well, except the fact that it was only 28 degrees outside and we were all frozen!!!)!

The Fort was buzzing this weekend as there was a reenactment going on.  There were lots of soldiers there, cannons being fired, guns being loaded, cooking fires going, and soldiers' wives cooking up meals!  It was a neat way to see the fort for the boys....being lived in and used!  Hopefully they got a better understanding of what life was like during the War of 1812.

 

The scouts that were able to make the trip:  Cole, David, Jacob, and Will.

The infantry.
 

 And, of course, Chase was there too!  (He thinks he is one of the big boys!)
