We even slept in tipis! Which was great except for one very rainy night....
Check out these great pictures!
We all were excited to embark on a new adventure for a week.
Katie and Taylor are getting outfitted with new gear. They got some cool hats and t-shirts which they got to decorate themselves.
Franklin is working on drawing a bird onto his shirt.
It was fun moving into our new homes. They are a little different from the ones we normally sleep in. Some had some really cool designs and they were really large.
We got to participate in a gazillion activites through out the week. Many of the activities related to history and cultures. The activities included (but are not limited to):
Beading crafts
Playing with cats while doing a bead craft
Playing many different kinds of games
Learned about the civil war
Weapons of the civil war
Learning drill
Getting to play with the guns. (Don't worry they are not real.)
We even got to ride on horses through the wide open plains.
We even got to participate in a pow wow, learned new dances and competed in a compition with our new moves.
Making our grand entrance
Our turn to show off our dancing skills. Jesse, Lacie, Andrea, Sydney and Skyler are picking up the moves fast.
We even got to taste the local food that grows in the area.
Nathaniel is doing a great job of mashing the berries, jerky, and nuts together.
The best part is eating it.
We created a new clothing line for summer 2009.
The girls made great models.
We even did yoga in the morning sun.
We experimented with a new language.
Of course we cannot forget that we made new friends and nourished old friendships.
Our group had a great time and we will always remember each other and the good times.
