Pap came up for Liam's birthday weekend and we took the opportunity to tour Fort Meigs on Halloween weekend. Our tour didn't leave until 7 PM and flash photography is forbidden; it had been pretty rainy and gloomy in the days previous, so I apologize for the terrible pictures. They capture the essence of the spookiness, however. We followed our tour guide's single lantern around and heard ghostly tales told at various spots throughout the fort. Since Damon had studied some of the battles in Social Studies last year, it was more engaging than it may have been otherwise, but overall the boys both really enjoyed it. I had a fantastic time. Two thumbs up if you're ever there for Halloween, but they don't sell those tickets at the door so plan accordingly. Wear rain boots so you can muck about freely AND pretend you were a soldier back in the day!
