We went swimming and I got a souvenir. We played a game that I really like, math war, number partners, that’s the game. My souvenir was a new spyglass thing.
I got my secret service badge at President Eisenhower’s house. We did some activities. We found some clues. I got to look through some real binoculars, not just my old boo boo binoculars. That secret service agent badge was metal metal metal metal.
We did a cycloroma. A cyclorama is a picture that glows. It glows like it’s real. It was of Gettysburg. It made sound, it was beaming with light and the story told of the civil war about unions and confederates. Some even fought brother to brother. And the day they fought in this picture was July 3rd.

That sounds like an interesting game. I want to make a cyclorama. It sounds really neat. Maybe someone can post a photo of it, because I really really want to see it.
Sounds like an awesome vacation so far!
James, that sounds so interesting! Glad you had a great time!
I’d love to know how to play the math war game!
Does it use a deck of cards, or is it a prepackaged game.
Lisa
It uses a deck of cards, jacks are 11, queens 12, kings 13, aces 0. We play addition and subtraction (each player puts out 2 cards and the higher/lower wins the hand). Multiplication and division would work too but we’re not there yet. James doesn’t even know there’s a non-math version
. Love your blog BTW. Thanks for the comment.
Wow James. You did a LOT!!!! It was great to see you last weekend. We all miss you already.
Nice job blogging James!
I love reading your narration of the vacation.
Thanks so much for sharing!
