We decided to go to a WWII demonstration at Camp Mabry in Austin. It was awesome! They fired the guns, fired the cannon, the tank, and more! After they talked about everything the re-enactment started! Jacob has become completely obsessed with the military now and is certain he wants to join when he's old enough ;) Megan had a terrible time with the loud noises from the guns and although she wanted to be a part of it she actually went as far up the hill as possible and was still miserable. I didn't know she would be so effected by the noise, it reminds me of when she was younger.
The museum itself was also amazing. We spend a good deal of time there and the kids were actually very interested! And did I mention it was free (both the reenactment and museum)!!
After we got back home Jacob kept talking about a "belly bomb" and I thought he was making it up until he described this bomb in the picture above and sure enough when I zoomed in, that's what it says!
The kids were in awe of PopPop's knowledge of the history...even now they say "I bet PopPop would know!"

This was an awesome day Jacob surprised me how interested in everything he became. During the reenactment I tried to get them to take Michael prisoner and put him in a Nazi concentration camp, but all they said was they don't take refugees.
