Thunder on the Border

When I was younger, I definitely was not enthused about my parents insisting on visiting historic sites and living history farms. Now I am dragging my son to them. Seems like a parental thing to do, right?

 

We had a good time. Soren enjoyed stomping on all the wooden floors in the buildings: the tavern, the church, the mercantile, the blacksmith shop, the settler's house. (In case you are wondering, it makes a very loud noise!) He also liked watching the animals. We saw a mock funeral procession and a scuffle between the jayhawkers and the Missouri ruffians as part of the day's reenactments.
