Book Review; Thunder at Gettysburg

Thunder at Gettysburg by Patrica Lee Gautch
I read this book. It is a true story. It is about a girl named Tillie Pierce. She lived in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania during the civil war. She was 15 years old when her neighbor asked her to come with her to a farm out of town with her young children. But the farm they went to ended up being in the middle of the battle. Tilly got stuck in the battle field. She helped bring water and food to soilders that were hurt because the farm had been turned into a temporary hospital for the soilders. When the battle came to where the farm where she was she had to run across the battle field into the Bushman's Farm but she had to turn back because the battle was there too. She was a brave girl.

At the Maple Syrup Festival we met 2 men dressed like civil war soilders. They taught us alot about the civil war and shot the musket (which Cooper loved).

WE LOVE CHOCLATE BUNNIES

My Weekend Report

This weekend was awesome! On Friday we went to the new tacobell/kfc. The old tacobell got torn down by the tornado. The new one is much better than the old one.

After that we went to our grandmas and had a movie party. me and Cooper made a movie theatre out of the living room. We watched the simpsons movie. It was really funny!

Saturday morning we went to where my grandpa works out. Its fun there. Then I went to play with my friend Paige. We made a mini awards show [because that night was the kids choice awards].

On Saturday night we came home and Skylia [sky-la] and Chase came over for a Kids Choice Awards party. It was Awesome we had slime shakes and slime jello. And most of the people we wanted to win did.

On Sunday we took skylia and chase to church. We had been collecting canned food for a food pantry. We had a contest between the boys and the girls to see who could bring in the most cans and the girls won so the boys had to serve us ice cream then they got ice cream.
