Grandchildren - Part 5

We ended up the week with a visit with some of our older grandchildren.  It was really, really hot this week, but we lived through it all.  We managed to fit in a movie, lots of watching the Olympics, a trip to the local university campus including some of the delicious ice cream made there.  We also made the traditional trip to the living history farm in spite of the heat.  These girls have been re-enacting at the farm since they were about 2 years old.  They started out with some of the more traditional womanly arts involving sewing and yarn.

 When they were needed a rest from that they wandered over to the mountain man site and decided to throw some tomahawks for a while.  If you look closely you can see a couple of the tomahawks flying through the air toward the target.  You don't want to mess with THESE pioneer women!

 See those three fingers?  That means she successfully threw the tomahawk into the target three times.

At the trading post they got to practice their penmanship skills with ink and quill pen as well as check out the various animal hides.  The bushy fox tail was a great favorite.

 You think maybe she is just basking in the sun?  Look carefully at what she is holding in her right hand!  It made a REALLY loud bang when she pulled that trigger!

We thought they'd be the last grandchildren to visit this summer, but rumor has it that perhaps we'll see a couple more.  Hope that rumor pans out!
