Historical Hike in Bastogne, Belgium

 67th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, December 10, 2011. It was freezing cold at the start of the hike but we were thankful it wasn't raining!
 Looking a bit tired at the 6 mile mark about half way through the historical trail.
 The boys were thrilled to see all the historical military vehicles and reenactment soldiers from WWII.
The boys took turns holding the equipment in original trenches and were able to experience the life of a soldier during WWII.
