Spring Break Day 2: Fort Vancouver

Today we took a field trip to the Fort at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. We got to visit with the blacksmith who showed us how to make the fire bigger with a bellow, showed us how a beaver trap works, and showed us old nails that were recovered during the archeological digs at the fort. We also visited the wood workers shop, the jail, the fur trade shop, and the tower. The tower was Devin's favorite part of the fort. I carried both babies up the tower to see the view. (It was quite a work out). After the fort, we had a picnic lunch on the grounds. We had fun playing with a ball after lunch.
