Our local college hosted a Heritage Day describing life on the pioneer in the 1800's in the this area. I had planned on taking the Test Pilot as a field trip, but when we discovered that Crash's school was going too, we decided to tag along.
Here is Mountain Man Moses. He was very interesting. He demonstrated setting traps, skinning animals, making clothing out of the hides, knife throwing and much more. The kids loved it.
There were various goats and miniature horses around to pet, which peaked the interest of Wingman.
Crash's class just looked adorable in their matching outfits. I am a sucker for that sort of thing.
Here they are making rope.
The whole class plus my kids got roped. That guy was very talented.
We went in a teepee for story time.
The guy gave a very balanced perspective of the Indian vs. White Man pioneer life. All these speakers really had the kids' attention.
It was a fun and educational day. We look forward to going back next year.
