Fort Day & More Baby Goats

This past Saturday was the 2nd to last day of 2nd yr. school at the Fort.
This was the first time I have ever gone to a Fort school day by myself.
Megs and Kai were sick, so they didn't go.
It was interesting not having them there, I found myself wondering where they were then remembering they weren't there... 😕

 I took quite a few food pictures as I was stationed in the kitchen to make sure we had boiling water for when the Apothacary's assistant got there to use in melting the wax for the salve.

Here are a few:

Carrots diced for the stew!

Making the biscuits.

Plates in the plate rack :)

Beans in a guard cup

Students in the Apothecary class

Water over the fire

Cutting out the biscuits

Students in the Apothecary class

Playing Games

Hoop and stick ad Graces!!

 It was a good class day, VERY warm, but a good day. 😊

My last goatie girl had her babies the other night between 10:45-11:30pm!
They are stinking cute!

Hirum, aka Tigger. Nicknamed for his orange huedcoloring and black spots. ;)

Solomon!

And I also got random pix of my other baby goats out enjoying the sun.

Bambi wanting to try the "selfie" look. ;)

You know it's warm out when the goats start melting. ;P

See? melting right down the slide! ;)

The triplets hanging out in the shade. (Bambi, Flash & Indy)

May so far has been going really well for us.
This Wednesday OPB is doing a preview in the theater of the short documentary that we played in!
My sisters and I are in the dancing. Megs is playing the Whistle! 😄
It will air on OPB May 21st.

Last Day of 1st Yr.

Today was the last day of 1st-year school at Fort Vancouver.
It was a good day! Actually got quite warm out today!

I went in civies and got pictures today.😊

The students are being shown by the aids how the A-frame tent is set up

Now it's the students turn to set up the tent

While half the students split into teams to set up the 2 tents, the others played a game called "Rabbit and the Hunter" sorta like "Duck, Duck, Goose"

Now the students are learning to set up the fly tent

After tents, they learned how to start a fire using flint & steel

Some of the girls at the picknick dinner sharing a picnic blanket :)

The Engage Students learning how to make a leather pouch to hold their strike-a-light kits. (flint & steel)

Some of the girls learning embroidery

A class shot including all the aids & teachers (well, almost, Kai took the picture) ;)

 It was a great day! Everyone had a great time! except for maybe 4 of the boys cutting their fingers while learning to use the flint & steel, thankfully nothing serious.
 Hopefully, we'll still be able to do flint & steel next year!

2nd year is next week! That will be fun as well I'm sure. 😊
