for our summer marathon visit to Denver! I can't believe it is coming to an end! Yesterday we went to visit the Four Mile Historic Park in Aurora. While all the history was great (for me) the kids loved the gold panning!! And it was great that they stock the creek with pyrite (aka fools gold) for them to find!
 |
Peter-Leo shows us how to pan for gold!
|
 |
| And he finds GOLD!! |
 |
Kody finds dirt. lots and lots of dirt. And she is happy.
|
 |
| Both kids panning for more gold!! |
 |
Peter-Leo takes a break from walking on the back of a wagon!
|
 |
Momma takes the reins on the big covered wagon!! Giddy Up!!
|
This was a neat little place for us to visit. The best part is teaching & showing kids history. The covered wagon was a neat thing for Peter-Leo because he studied about the Oregon Trail in school and can now see what a covered wagon was really like. Not very big.
Great times!
