July 4th in Antietam



Just hanging out, looking for the fireworks in the sky?! Cathleen informed me that the reason that I could not see them was that they did not start until after dark. Good thing she knew!


I spent July 4th with Cathleen and Betsy as well as most of Betsy's family at the Antietam Battlefield (just south of Hagerstown). It was lots of fun and we re-enacted one of the key battles of Antietam with by pretending we had been shot by the confederate soldiers with the old ketchup trick?
