Pioneer Days are alive AGAIN

Okay, so we like Pioneerish stuff. We've been to a living pioneer farm in Eatonville, a living pioneer museum in Bozeman and now another in Oregon! We went to the High Desert Museum, not knowing what to expect, and got to see fantastic pioneer exhibits, plus an old cabin and sawmill. My girls eat this stuff up (okay... so do I!). It was so much fun! later that night we went back for a special event called "Mission Wolf". Two wolves from Colorado were there to teach us about brining wolves back into the western states. They rolled around on the ground, gave kisses to tons of people and became very jealous if the other wolf was getting more audience attention! The girls even got to sit on the floor as the wolves made their rounds. Can you believe that even in front of 200 people, Maria has no fear of speaking! She raised her hand and asked how big wolves are when they are born (only about a pound!). The two we saw (Magpie and Abraham) were around 85 pounds, but they looked MUCH bigger! It was a really cool experience, and I hope some of the pictures we took will turn out. I'm sure I will post them right away if they do. Isabelle already said she wants them blown up for the walls in her room!
