150TH ANNIVERSARY

There were SO MANY events going on in the park over the weekend, but we knew the kids would only be able to handle a few, so we picked the camel infantry (their camel, Douglas, actually just carried the musical instruments) and touring the Shirley House. And running through the tunnel a few times.
Smelling a magnolia flower
Petting a camel. NOT Douglas, obviously. Reenactment people, reenactment.
Cora was scared to stand solo with the camel, but not James.

We bumped into one of Cora's buddies from school, Addisyn. They played Ring Around the Rosie for a while.
Gramma taught them how to smell the rosemary growing in the garden.
Checking out the cannon, wondering what gun powder is and where it goes...
Behind the Illinois Memorial.
Meeting a mannequin with an apple, just like her.
More interested in the doll and buggy though.
Inside the Illinois Memorial, one of our favorite places to visit in the park.
