One neat thing about living in North Carolina is exploring the rich history of our area. In 1776, there was a battle near Wilmington in an area later named Moore's Creek Battlefield. It was so interesting learning about this American Revolutionary War battle. We went with our favorite North Carolinians, the McLeod family!

| Sweet Ashton fell asleep on the ride to the battlefield. I love those long lashes on those precious cheeks! |
 |
| They did a great job of recreating the set-up before the battle. Unfortunately, they can no long reenact the battle because things have gotten out of hand when guns are fired. |
 |
| Mommy and Beckham! |
 |
| This man was doing metal work like Blacksmiths of that time period. |
 |
| The Redcoats |
 |
| This guy was especially excited about showing us his rifle! |
 |
| Beckham only lets a select few people hold him, so you know you are a favorite if he stays longer than a few seconds. He loves Mike! |
 |
| After walking around the battlefield we came inside and looked around the museum. |
 |
| Our boys thought this was so cool and Ashton is so small he could just slide his head in and out! |
 |
| Beckham's head is a little bigger than Ashton's (haha!) but he still enjoyed being locked in! |
 |
| We stopped for ice cream to end a wonderful day!! |
