Sutter's Fort

A few weeks ago we went with my family to a "market" type of thing at Sutter's Fort. They had all sorts of displays and of course period memoribilia and clothing to buy. Since Marc and I are going on the Youth Trek this summer as a Ma and Pa, my dad as a Captain, and my two younger siblings attending, we thought it might be a good place to get some ideas and maybe buy some things to wear on the trek. For the trek, you have to dress in the pioneer garb. I went crazy with the pictures. I was in this deep reflection on how simple times were back then, and it was just so cool to me how everyone had their trade, and they were happy to be good at their thing and share with everyone else. I'm sure you had the occasional over acheiver, but for the most part, they all did their part to help and they all chipped in so they could survive and have what they needed.

Um, guy who makes saddles? SaddleGuy? Carpenter

Pretty glad these aren't required on the trek! Represent!

The food looked really good...it made me excited for the food Brother Meyers and his team will cook while on the trek.

Us... Me and Whit...

Tana was so good about wearing her hat to keep her shaded from the sun. She called it her "pretty".

We all tried on some cool hats...

Oooh...scared of them! :) Four of the seven...

Me and Mama....it's rare that she'll pose for a picture, so I have to post it when I can get one. Love her!
