A Trip to the Fort

This past week we found ourselves in a tourist area on a weekday as a family. With those three components together and with the right amount of cash currently available, we couldn't turn down the opportunity to tour the fort in Fort McLeod. We even timed it right to watch the musical ride.

Breanna had visited the area not too long ago with the school so she led us around showing us different things she remembered seeing. The kids enjoyed feeding the goats, watching the horses, petting the horses and visiting the horses in their stable. They also enjoyed the towers and were amazed at some of the artifacts they saw.

There is nothing like a trip back in time to help one appreciate what we have in our day. WOW! I remember heating water for baths and laundry and having to use an outhouse but, at least the roof wasn't sod and the walls were solid without cracks that let in cold and weather. What a blessing it is to live in our day!

We followed up our museum trip with a family picnic and had a lot of fun playing in the park and enjoying the shade. Good times.
