Easter Rendezvous!

Our 1st Rendezvous of 2009.
Easter Rendezvous at Fort B. in Ogden.

In the morning the Civil War re-enacters present the colors of the United States.
They parade through camp,

and have a gun salute.
Check out the fire in the picture.

Camp Life!
Inside the wall tent.
Bunk bed cots.

Outside the tent.
We put the end walls in the middle this time, so that we could have a little bit of shade, and it worked out great!
Lyn, Weston, and Bekah getting the fire started.
Lyn and Ellie making breakfast.
Lyn heating up the biscuts.
Mom and Bekah doing the dishes.
Weston setting the table.
It may seem like a lot of work to do for a vacation, but it's very relaxing too.
Kids Games!
Ray trying to get the clothespins in the bottle
Bekah and Bella take a turn.


Bekah playing an Indian game called stick the pig.

Weston giving it a try.
Everyday around 10 a.m. they have kids games. The kids get to learn things about Rendezvous, try out new games and usually make something. This year the kids made "Bear claw" necklaces.
