"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Field Trip to the Money Museum: Civil War Exhibit

Maximus has been working on counting money all year & we just finished our unit about the Civil War. So... we took a field trip to the money muesum downtown. As soon as we walked in, there was a wall of Civil War histroy & Maximus was busy telling Maci that the Union soliders were from the North & that they wore blue coats & that the "bad guys" were in the south & had slaves & they wore grey uniforms. It was awesome hearing him tell her what he knew. He thought it was cool that the north & south had different money. But overall he was mostly fascinated with the Musket & Bayonet and wants dad to have one of thsoe guns!! LOL

Error Notes: flaws in printing. Maximus thought this was so cool!!
