Madelyn recently had the opportunity to learn about Lewis and Clark by going to a travel expedition of their adventures. She learned about the weapons of that era and the medicine (or lack there of if you ask me!). She was able to see a replica of their boat that they used to go up the Missouri river. The original was sold and later destroyed. They had question and answer time at all the stations. While we were at the boat station, Madelyn asked where they took their baths. She was told in the Missouri River. I could see by the look on her face that she did not approve of that.

A replica cannon of that era as it was being fired. VERY LOUD!
Madelyn watching as a blacksmith showed the children how the iron was made hot then molded into objects. They saw a nail and hanger/hook being made.
