Living History at the Parish Ranch

February 18, 2009


While Mom was away, Dad organized a Civil War 'live fire' day with some of our friends. With appointed officers and reenactment gear, the guys drilled, did plenty of live fire shooting, and also shot some clay pigeons with today's guns. A big thanks to everyone who attended! It was great fun.

Drilling up to snuff.



Do I see smiles in the ranks? One at least. :-) Thanks Mr. Smith!

Eden Callis graced the field wearing her lovely period attire. Her femininity was a delight.


Yay Connor!


Loading is an extensive process with these reproduction muskets.


But thanks to the trusty 'Butterboy', Talon Smith, they accomplished the feat successfully. :-)
Nurse Parish and Private Smith kindly agreed to pose for me.

Fun! What a photo of Tim's gunshot! And.... is that a CELL PHONE that Mr. Smith is checking? :-)
Thanks for inviting us out for a fun day!

Ha! You didn't see the cell phone okay? Or the ear plugs for that matter. :-P

Thanks for coming!
