We went up to Fort Bridger on Sat. Sept. 1st '07. Ellie and Weston went up with Grandma Susy and Klint Friday,after school to help set up. This is our family picture pre 1840 style except for Ellie's water bottle.
We took our friends the Lance family Landen, Codi, Laura(in yellow), Landrea, and Lois the dog with us for the day. Everyone seemed to have a fun time, however Laura loved every thing especially the sqaure dance that night.
The Epperson family in pre 1840 attire Ellie a.k.a Makes a Friend, Lyn a.k.a. Eagleman, holding Bekah a.k.a. Coyote Girl, Weston a.k.a. Brother Bear, and Heather a.k.a Blue Moon holding Ray.
One of my favorite parts of Bridger Rendezvous is watching the Indians dance. The bead work on their costumes is so incredible.
Ray was memorized be the dancers, the drums, the music and the whole thing. I could watch them dance forever, it is so beautiful.

Heather, why is your name Blue Moon? Is there a hidden meaning?
I so love that family picture on the lefthand side of the blog, so darn cute! Good job girl!
Okay, last one by me, maybe.
I love the pictures of the Indians dancing. When we lived in Cortez, Colorado, there were Indian dances every Thurs, Fri, and Sat in town at the cultural center. We totally loved it. I have a picture of Kelsey about 2 months old while a guy totally decked out in his dance clothes was holding her, so precious. You are a lucky lady to be involved in such things.
We are so happy that your family is doing a blog. Hope to see more fun pictures of you and your family.
