A Beautiful Fall Day

Yesterday we went to a homeschool event about Eastern Woodland Indians. The boys had fun learning about American Indians and exploring the gardens. Jonathan nearly got a fire started with the drills that they had for the children to try. Daniel and Kai helped furnish a model wigwam, and Jonathan, Kai and Daniel all had fun playing some of the games that American Indians played. I enjoyed the beautiful weather and, obviously, taking photos.

Playing "snakes"

Bet you didn't know gourds were heavy.  :)

Jonathan, trying to figure out how the drills worked.

Ride 'em cowboy!

A rose by any other name. . .

Would smell as sweet. . .

Making the beds in the wigwam

Giddy up!

Grinding corn

The boys were impressed by these GIANT pumpkins.

I tried to take a good photo of the 3 boys together.  This one is probably truest to character.

And, after a lot of shots, this is the best I got.  

Trying out the cradleboard.
