American West Heritage Center...

After our fun weekend at Bear Lake there were only a couple days of summer left for Ashton, so on Wednesday...the day before school started, we decided to meet up with Brianne and the boys out at the AMHC. We hadn't been out there for a long time, and the times we have been we've never done as much as we did that day. We had such a fun day! Here's what we did...
Checked out how pioneers used to live (and counted our blessings)...
The boys played a couple of old games from back in those days. Catching
balls this guy was hitting with that old style bat...
Then we wandered over and the boys all learned how to make yarn out of wool...they thought that was pretty cool!
 
 Then we checked out this cool teepee...
And got to throw tomahawks at the logs, something we have done before...
 
I even got one in!
 Then we got to do what Gunnar and Ashton had been looking forward to the whole day...
Pan for gold!
They would have stayed there and done that the rest of the day if we'd let them.
But finally we made them move on and we went over and they rode the ponies.
I was kind of surprised Ashton and Gunnar did this, but they did and they loved it! Ashton even went twice :)
Finally at the end of our day we rode the cute little train...
All 6 boys packed into the caboose...haha :)
I think we were the ONLY ones out there that day besides all the workers, it was fun having the whole place to ourselves and getting to do all that fun stuff!
Then it was home for a quick dinner and back to school night...
