Since Matt, Tayloe and the kids were in town we all decided to to a Battle of Little Big Horn reenactment. It was held right over the hill from where the battle really took place. We sat on bleachers and got to watch the show. It was impressive. They had quite a few people involved as "actors". There were a bunch of Calvary men in wool suits on one side and then a bigger group of Native Americans on the other side. The Native Americans were amazing horsemen. They were riding around on bareback and not one of them fell off. I was impressed. They walked the audience through what what had led up to the battle and then reenacted the battle where Custer was killed. We all enjoyed ourselves. We then got to go around and take pictures with the actors. The only downer was the heat. It was about 102 degrees with no shade and we cooked. Luckily, we had umbrellas that saved us from major sunburns. We don't know how the Calvary men survived in their wool get-ups. After the show we went to the actual battlefield and saw the headstones of the fallen men.
