San Jacinto Festival

We had a fun day attending the San Jacinto Festival.  Every year many volunteers reenact the battle that actually took place on these very grounds.  Fast riding horses, shooting guns and loud canons were an exciting thing to witness.  I was glad to have learned about this battle that is important to Texas history.

The kids enjoyed petting the small farm animals.  I forgot to snap a picture of Madison holding a small white baby goat.  She held it for a good 20 minutes and was in heaven.

After the battle several people came up to the actors and asked about their clothing and weapons.  Grandpa Bill loves the attention.

They were so proud of their Grandpa Bill. He is a great historian.
