pioneer living outdoor museum

On Sunday afternoon Dad and Matt and Luther went white water rafting!  Such a fun trip for them!  (and no pictures, because.. well, white water rafting)

So Mom and Jan and I took the five kids to a pioneer living outdoor museum.  


My mom had read about this place (next to the downtown library) and it was really neat.  Several different pioneer homes have been moved to the site and meticulously restored.


Washing laundry was probably the highlight of the day for everyone (it helped that it was sweltering hot and the laundry water felt nice and cool!)


Everyone got to make a cornhusk doll too!


and several of the kids dressed up in pioneer days clothing (though I'm not sure how John Paul chose this particular get-up!)

Fort Collins has been a great spot for these types of experiences, and we are grateful for our days here!
