We finally got around to visiting Curtis's brother and his family in Logan the first weekend in October. While we were there we went to the Elk reservation at Hardware ranch. They had lots of fun activities for families that weekend. Including pumpkin painting...
Examining bugs in water. This was Xander's favorite activity! We learned that if these critters are in the water, then it is safe clean water.
Target practice with a bow and arrow. Curtis wasn't even paying attention to his aim...
Xander hit the target all by himself. No joke.
We learned about Native American hunters.
She's not totally freaked out, she did pet the thing. I was surprised at how fascinated she was with this man. He held her attention for quite a long time talking about all of his tools and furs.
And of course, we went on a horse-drawn wagon ride. Too bad the elk were all hiding out of view. (This is Tayla on her cousin's lap.)
Other memorable parts of the weekend:
Xander learned that he could do forbidden things if mom wasn't in the room. I'd come see what he was getting into and he'd repeatedly tell me, "Go away, Mom." He had a partner in crime (a big cousin with a drawer full of candy). She'd let him eat all the candy out of her drawer and give him more.
We got Curtis's parents to sing with the "Disney sing it wii." That game amused us for an entire evening.
