Gettysburg

After our morning in Lancaster and our geriatric lunch we drove down to Gettysburg.  It was so incredibly beautiful.  They have built a fantastic museum recently and the movie was excellent.  We also decided to buy the audio tour, which I was very glad we did.  It was such a pivotal battle and the tour made it so much richer.  So when you go to Gettysburg make sure you borrow it from us!  Anyway by the time we dragged everyone out of the gift shop, some screaming hysterically [(see videos below) (Seriously, if the world was made up of gift shops and nothing else, I am pretty sure my kids would be in heaven)], it was nearing dusk and the lighting was amazing.  It was so beautiful.  I wish I could have captured it.  It got dark before we finished the tour, so put this place on the list of must do again's.

 Little Round Top.  So tragic.  

As for the insanity pictured below, this was at least ten minutes in.  It began when I tore Clara away from the gift shop.  She was howling and kicking and screaming and drawing all kinds of attention to us.  Seriously, it was pretty funny, if you think tantrums are funny, which I do.  She kept running off into the shubbery yelling, "Just leave me alone!  All I want is to be left alone!"  So hiliarious.  I'm just glad I caught some of it on tape.  I'd like to catch her at her worst more and make a video montage to give her on her wedding day.  Or maybe on the day her first child is born.  Yes, that would be a good idea.
