We went on a
Field trip
to Ft. Larned.
The boys all love
learning about
history, war and guns.
So this was right down
their alley!
(This guy was freaky and real!)
This was a special weekend,
so we saw the Fort
re-enacted everyplace we went.
The Blacksmith
was their favorite stop.
He made them their own
wall hooks.
Picked up their clothing!
Learned how the cannon was shot.
And went for a nice
carriage ride!
Through all this,
the boys were on a mission.
They were given a form to fill out
as a kind of "scavenger hunt".
At the end of the day,
they returned what they had learned,
took an oath
and became
Junior Rangers!
They were so proud and excited!
This is a really cool program
that all the National Parks participate in.
When we go to more parks,
they will get their
passports stamped.
The rest of our weekend
was spent here....!
Doesn't get better
than this happy face!
We had lots of fun,
but ended up with our first
round of Pink Eye!
Yuck!!
Trent, then Mom then Sean.
Lucky Jake was saved from the yuckiness.
Pretty miserable stuff!
But, these boys are tough
and nothing stopped them
from finishing the weekend strong!
Happy Labor Day! :)
love, the rockinryans
