Rock Ledge Park

The other morning we decided to go on the Glen Eyrie hike up to the waterfall and bowls.  We were all set and excited to go until we found out at the front gate that as of June 1 you must have a reservation before you can hike.  I guess they are doing this to cut down on all of the people coming through.  Well, dismay fell in our van. 

Then I remembered that Rock Ledge was just a mile up the road.  We always enjoy it and learn something new every time!

Nathan learned about the chamber pots.

I learned about how they would stick wool in the cracks of the wood inside the cabins.

Jerrica learned how fun little wooden rocking chairs are.

Rebecca learned that the cabin size is the same size as the log house in the Little House on the Prairie book. 

Stephen and the kids learned the history of paint and how they made and kept it in the 1800’s.  Shauna was chasing Jerrica who was chasing the sheep.

Kaylee was in awe of the old organ.

And of course the boys always have to have their stilt war at the cabin.

It was just fun to hang out as a family for the day, even if we weren’t hiking Glen Eyrie!
