Prairie Celebration





Took Nick to Rock Springs Center this afternoon. We watched the "old Time" artisans-a potter, yarn dyer, weaver, blacksmith, etc. Nick watched the blacksmith complete the long process of making the S hook, and he gave it to Nick when he finished. He's standing in front of the tall prairie grass.
Kids were trying the Native American atlatl which was used to hunt buffalo, and Nick made it really fly.
Terry was working there today, and drove the wagon ride when Nick and I went on it. After the ride we went inside and listened to a couple of songs from the bluegrass band that Chrissy and Cody's other grandparents play in.
