Hmmm . . . I'ts Been A While. Must Be in School!

Last weekend we went to the Des Plaines Valley Rendezvouz, a kind of re-enactment of life along the river centuries ago, when people would come by boat to camp and trade for goods. It was really cool. We got to see a teepee fully furnished, and along the river people in costume basically had their camps set up--and they'd tell you about their site and so on.

Jimmy really liked the "skirmish"--where some fighting broke out between some soldiers and the Indians.

We were only there a little while, but plan to go back next year when we can spend more time!
