Mountain Man Living

Back in June (yes, way back then), we went to a

 "Mountain Man Living" 

Day at This is the Place Monument.

I guess we don't get enough "mountain living" up here so we went down to the city for a bit more :-)

Oh, we had fun!

A pioneer woman showing the girls how laundry was done back then -

By Hand!!

Then each of the girls got to try it.

And then they hung the laundry to dry.

We all decided we like doing laundry with our machines.

Spoiled!

A lady was spinning yarn.

A fun tree swing for Dani Rae

Hudson playing "pick up sticks

Caleb and Coop enjoying the shade.

Weston trying a few games with the pioneer boys.

Tessa taking a turn at it.

And Elizabeth

Ahhh...

Home Sweet Home for my boys.

They loved this tent.

Look at those hides!

Beaver, fox, coyote...

Oh, the envy!

This guy was a trader looking for Indians that might be interested in trading for some of his things.

It was fun to see and hear about his belongings and what they were used for.

The Mountain Man Blacksmith.

Very interesting to watch him pound out the shapes.
