Mountain Man Rendezvous
Do I look like a pioneer in this bonnet?
How many people does it take to put up a tent? Well all of us; it goes a lot quicker with more helpers.
After all of his help, he got to rest in the tent. This tent we set up for cooking outside and relaxing in. Sometimes it is nice not to always be in the trailer.
The truck tent. Modern accessories. However we were dry camping.....meaning no water or electric hookups. The joy of all joys Porta potties...I detest!
We saw Hugo, Robert's friend from Omniture. What are the chances?
Black Smith making a chain. A very tedious and time consuming process.
Lincoln logs in the museum. Charlie was in heaven; last time Charlie played with Lincoln Logs was at Grandma and Grandpa Boulter's house.
Natalie is one of Steven's friends that was at the event and came to visit our camp site. She was so cute and read Charlie Skippy Jon Jones. Charlie's favorite book! 
Charlie shucking the corn for dinner and doing a fine job.
Jessica, Steven's friend came for dinner and we all had a fun time talking and fixing dinner together.
Cooking with the Volcano!
We had corn bread and fish Steven caught at the Snake River. A very authentic pioneer meal!
It was so nice to have the boys make breakfast. Robert the head chef making farmers omlet.
Mountain man spotted. Good thing, after all it was a Mountain Man Rendezvous!
It is said that for the three days this event is held 30, 000 people attend.With that being said that is why our little Charlie is always put in bright shirts when we go to events with large crowds of people. He stands out!
School time
The Native American dancing was fascinating. The Regalia was breath taking. There were so many people that dressed amazingly accurate for the era being depicted. It felt as though we stepped through a portal into the past. Everything was accurate and authentic.
