Grandma and Grandpa Barlow took us on a day trip to Cove Fort and the Fremont Indian State Park. Sometimes it is easy to forget what neat things are really close to you! We had a really great time. None of us had been to either place, and we were so surprised at how cool they were.
I was very impressed with Adelaide Hinkley. Here was a woman who had eleven children, grew a garden to support an army, fed at least twenty people three meals a day, and kept house for her large family and anyone else who was staying at the fort. What a woman! Some days I feel like it's too much to feed a family of five and clean my own place. What if there was no air conditioning? What if morning sickness was no excuse for shirking your chores? Needless to say I was very impressed by her faith and fortitude.
At the Fremont Indian state park we saw all kinds of pictographs and petroglyphs and pictoglyphs. (yes those are all real terms) The museum was fascinating as well. I found myself longing to go back to school and earn my archaeology masters. Alas, I will have to be a living room anthropologist for at least a few more years. Right now the living are more important.
