Bluff

In the meeting hall

Teepee

Pioneer girls

Wednesday we took a little trip south to Historic Bluff Fort.

It is about 40 miles from home. We had never been there yet. The weather was great, almost too warm. The fort has been restored somewhat by the hole-in-the-rock foundation, who are a lot of the decendants of the original pioneers who crossed the state. There are a lot of little cabins, a meeting hall, and some of the other buildings there. They also have a few Ute and Navaho things there. The girls really liked it. In the visitor's center they have some pioneer outfits and the girls got to put them on and pose for a picture or two in an old covered wagon. On our way back we stopped for dinner and it turned out to be a really fun outing. Made us thankful for our nice big house after seeing the 10 x10 cabins they all lived in. The town of Bluff is tiny, but they do a lot to attract peole there. They do a big balloon festival, which I would like to see, maybe next year. Otherwise we have spent spring break doing a little bit of everything. Some cleaning, organizing, yard work, puppy prep, and working on the Blazer. We took a trip to Durango, CO on Thursday and saw the train museum again. We had a picnic by the river and park, we went into a few little stores and the girls FINALLY bought some earrings to change out the ones they had when they got them pierced. So they were happy. On the way back we made a stop at WalMart to do a little grocery shopping. It was also a good day. We have enjoyed our staycation and having Scott around for a few days.
