Fur Trade Days

Back in July the town of Chadron had their annual Fur Trade Days. It also happened to be the weekend my parents came to visit and to deliver us the truck we bought. We finally have 2 vehicles again!
A whole went on that weekend. Here is a whole lot of photos!

Sitting and waiting for a certain presentation, they were entertaining people with a magic show....and of course my dad gets volunteered to do something. :)

Kylie in line for her presentation

The Museum of the Fur Trade, along with Taco Johns, held a coloring contest for the kids in K - 2 in the community. Kylie entered her coloring page......and won FIRST place in her grade!
Yay!

Fur Trade Days Parade - Mike had his Soldier Creek Crew in the parade, and since Kylie was one of the winners, she got to ride in the Taco John's float & toss candy & taco tokens! :)

Kylie had a great time out there

 In the afternoon we headed out East of town to the Rendezvous site. We saw some of the authentic set ups/tents the fur traders used to use, saw a lot of things for sale or trade and we saw them shooting their guns.

The really long hill we had to climb back to the parking area

It really did in the little ones...

 We spent lots of time outside playing with water balloons that weekend as well!

And a Lot of time playing with a whole lot of legos that my parents brought us that used to be mine & my siblings..

And of course, cute cats. :)

We also spent some time weather watching.  Didn't get anything too exciting that weekend though.

It was a great weekend with my folks and as always, went by way to fast!
