Last week the weather was beautiful, so we decided to go somewhere. We got started late and we didn't want to go too far away so we chose to go to Kings Mountain. It took about an hour or so to walk around the short Battlefield Trail.
There were many side trails leading to memorials.
And quite a few fallen trees as well!
Some interesting sights to see...
Even if little legs were getting tired!
About halfway through (at least it seemed) was a monument "in Memory of the patriotic Americans who participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain"
We also saw a siamese twin tree!
Almost to the end was another monument... This one was commemorating the victory at King's Mountain.
We were all pretty tired by this point. But it didn't slow us down much.
The kids had a really good time pretending to be "Whigs" and "Tories" and "British-ish-men" along the trails. When we got to the end of the trail, we enjoyed some cool drinks of water and nice crisp apples.
