What a Cool Place!!
We found out that Calico was going to have the Civil War Re-enactment so we packed up our bags and left Las Vegas so we could get there by the weekend. Although the Civil War didn't actually take place in California, it was a good opportunity to re-enforce what Abby learned in Virginia about the Civil War. Abby even got a chance to meet "Abe Lincoln"
Both the Union and the Confederate troops had set up encampments in the ghost town and the streets were full of actors in costume.
Plus, since Calico is actually a working ghost town, Abby was able to experience Pioneer life with the many activities they have there -
like leather working....
and making our own rope jump ropes....
and sitting in on class in the old school house
