They showed us how the cannons were prepared for fire at Fort Jackson. It was very hard to cover my ears, Geronimos ears, and shoot the pictures. LOL.

The visual of you trying to cover both sets of ears is adorable! Love the tones; perfect for the photo Regenia:)

I know what a noise those cannons make! Could you imagine the Civil war? The noise. They used to put things in the cannons like glass and nails and fire them into the enemy.
