Just kidding, it was really only 2 weeks ago that we found this amazing, never before used, still in the package, Civil War themed Chess and Checkers set.
The Union Army
The Confederate Army
Kings and Queens = Abraham Lincoln and Grant, Jefferson Davis and Lee
Even the checkers are decorated with the two flags.
Sammy is doing pretty well learning Chess but she is GREAT at Checkers. It is tough to beat her! I learned years ago, when teaching her to read, that when she starts monkeying around and doing gymnastics, that is when her mind is really moving. Just like in this shot of her contemplating her next move.
I can only teach her the basics in Chess so it looks like Grandpa Vater is just going to have to make a trip out here soon! (Please? We'll let you be the South!) :)
