MIGHTY EIGHTH AIR FORCE MUSEUM CAMP!
Carter really enjoyed the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum Camp he attended in the middle of June. He learned a lot about World War II. The picture at the left is of the dog tags that he received at camp. Even though you cannot see it, the dog tags have his name engraved in them. He was so proud of these. He is still wearing them! Camp was really great for Carter! He drank powdered milk and ate Spam. For those of you who don't know Carter, eating these foods is an AMAZING EVENT! He informed us that, "the P.O.W.'s drank powdered milk and ate canned meat" and that he did too. Once again, too proud for words!
What good soldier from World War II doesn't have a tattoo to remember their sacrifice for their country. As you can see, Carter got his own tattoo for his "service" in camp. The symbol on his arm is the symbol for the Mighty Eighth Air Force group for which the Museum is named. Carter was also VERY proud of this tattoo. He showed it to everyone!
Here is Carter pretending to be a wounded soldier on the battlefield. He had worn this soldier hat out into the yard and I thought that he looked so cute that I asked him to pretend that he was a wounded soldier on a battlefield. This is his dramatization. Pretty good, don't you think?
Ah, Carter in classic form. Here he is with his souvenir purchase from the gift shop at the museum, his Mighty Eighth T-Shirt. He had a really great week at camp and made some good friends. The teacher was really sweet to them all week. On the last day of camp, she dressed as "Rosie the Riveter" and when I asked Carter to explain why the teacher was dressed that way, he informed me that, "when the men were away at the war, the women had to go to work so that everyone in the United States could live". Again, he learned A LOT!! The kids learned how to plot points on a map, the different types of planes and bombers used in World War II and played many interactive games. It was a great week!
