Guns, Indians, and Forts

Vern and family went to a local fort this weekend. He had a GREAT time. He got to see a fort in action and it was hard for him to choose his favorite activity or site of the day.

He really enjoyed the torture devices used back then. He moaned (as did all the men that entered) about this wooden saw horse looking contraption that was sanded to a rough point and men were made to sit on it. He also liked the whips and solitary confinement.


Vern really enjoyed watching the men fire a small cannon and this other lead ball into the air. His eyes were as big as saucers! To bad the only picture I got was the back of him.


Let's hope this is NOT the case. Sometimes the picture is all that needs to be said.


On a brighter note Vern also got to dig inside one of the buildings and find archeological treasures and mark them down on paper. 


Everyone had a great time and the weather was beautiful. Mom’s favorite part was seeing the Indian wearing only a teeny tiny breechcloth but I’d better not digress on Vern’s blog. (Big Smiles)
