Last month we embarked on our first road trip with the little man to the coast. Our destination: Fort Clatsop. After reading a book on the Oregon Trail and discussing the Lewis and Clark expedition, it was pretty cool to see the tangible evidence of their exploration and where they spent the first winter. McKinley and Piper were able to connect the information from the book with the displays in the visitor's center, such as recalling the name of Lewis and Clarks Newfoundland dog: Seaman. They also completed an activity book which promoted them to Junior Ranger. On a side note: The girls have been playing the original Oregon Trail game on the computer and love it as much as Ben & I did when we were kids!
Dressing up in garments that Lewis and Clark wore.
Throw Back Thursday: We visited the fort ten tears ago when Nana, Ahmma & Cassie came to visit us.
TBT: Benji looks exactly the same, just tanner.
On the way home we ate at this amazing, little Mexican restaurant in Seadise.
