Fort Christmas

Yesterday my brother(David) and I(Ray) went to Fort Christmas with the Future Men and anyone else who wanted to go. First we went around the fort and looked in the rooms that had tools and other things that pioneers used. There were guns, saws and axes, and in one of the rooms there were Indian clothes and weapons. The fort had a small weapon room where there were boxes marked WEAPONS.We saw men dressed as soldiers. They told us about their uniforms. We all learned that the knapsack is the most important part of equipment for a soldier, because it carries all their belongings like food, boots, clothes, and other things. They showed us how their guns worked and told us about the history of the fort, and we learned that Florida is the 25th state. Then they told us about the Indian Wars and how they didn't want to move from their lands.Then Mr. Maccione had a test for the Future Men. They had to find out what the 25th state was. David and Boyd won three dollars each. Then after we were all done looking at the fort, we went to Taco Bells. We had a great time!
