Fort Langley March 2009

Ewan and I got to enjoy a preview of a new installation that will be going up outside the gates of the Fort We really enjoyed learning more about the carving tools

And tried out a "brass rubbing"

One of the carvers was very nice and explained everything to us.

This is inside the oldest standing original building in British Columbia - with packs of fur wrapped in bear hide.

Ewan was a bit freaked out when he saw the face was still on this one!
We helped out with the bellows in the forge

Laced up some mocasins

Tried on a "magic" felt hat. The magic might have fallen out of this one

But it was still pretty neat
Boo!

Gold panning


And some slime mold. All in all, a good day :0)
OH! And you can build a house! We recommend that you try it for yourself!
