Memorial Day at Fort Snelling with the Helget girls

We took the our kids and the Helget girls, friends of ours, to Fort Snelling on Memorial Day. It was such a fun way for the kids to see history in action. We had a picnic overlooking the river and stopped for a DQ treat on the way home. It was a great day and so nice to finally be outside! Lex and Lizzy and the top of the tower.
Learning to march with the soldiers. Ashley and Lizzy manning the cannon. Ashley trying out some of the old fasioned games kids used to play.


Taylor seeing what it was like to have to carry water up to the house.

Looking over the river after lunch. What a great day!!!
