Recently Anthony placed an order, last Thursday to be exact, and much to his surprise it arrived on Friday. We saw this wonderful UPS truck in our driveway and he ran to meet it. Trying not to look TOO anxious, of course.
It was a package from...
He couldn't wait to get into it!
What did my 15-year-old son order?
He ordered a half canteen (aka plate), tin cup, wooden toothbrush, Lucifers (matches), wooden handled fork and knife, a pocket knife, a housewife (no, not really...it's a sewing kit), and that box of rolled up papers. They are to load gunpowder in so that it's handy to put in your gun.
Why would he need all of this? He has decided to go Confederate. After much research as to what was in the napsack of a good Confederate soldier, this is what he ordered. His first reenactment is tomorrow through Sunday and he CAN'T WAIT! We are having a few scheduling difficulties with Alex playing ball this weekend and his reenactment (and naturally they are nowhere near each other), but I am hoping to make it to at least some of his reenactment so that I can get lots of pictures. Check back next week to see how this battle went!
