Covered Wagon Craft

April 15, 2009

We’re moving right along with our Oregon Trail learning adventures! Today we visited the Historical Museum where we got to see an authentic Covered Wagon, and all sort of other Educational goodies. And of course being the pregnant Mommy that I am, I completely forgot that stupid annoying microscopic little SD card that is supposed to go in my camera……you know the thing that makes it work and record your pictures…….yeah, that thing.

And since they didn’t sell disposables at the gift shop, I was forced to commit all the fun we had to my own internal memory….which if I’m lucky will last longer then it takes me to finish this post.

And since I have no amazing photos of the Museum to show you, you’ll just have to settle for this generic stock photo I pulled off the internet.

Sigh, I’ll get my brain back shortly, I’m sure of it.

But alas, even though we had not camera, we still were able to come home and spend the day crafting away! Sissy had a fantastic time putting together her own Covered Wagon and she was so very proud of it too!

We really utilized materials that were in our house anyway, cardboard, paper bags, and of course popsicle sticks (left over from my most recent obsession cravings for Dreyer’s Fruit Bars

…..Seriously don’t ever try these things, they’re amazingly delicious, and WAY to expensive for the way I’ve been scarfing them down.

Hmmm, speaking of……….
