Mountain Man Rendezvous

At the end of the 4th and 5th graders Utah Studies section they always have a Mountain Man Rendezvous.  They have to sew possibles bags, collect beaver pelts (pieces of paper) and learn skills so they are prepared for the competitions.  It is such a fun day for all of them.

They take their possibles bag full of beaver pelts and they get to do various activities.  They have to pay to do the activities but they have the possibility to earn more beaver pelts if they do well.  I was helping with the 3-legged race and it was hilarious.

Courtney did her rounds and would come over to see me once in a while, but never to share her yummy food.  She was having a great time though!

She made a marshmallow gun

She made a ring by hammering a nail.

 She ate a fresh scone.

 She competed in a 3-legged race with her friend.

She had a great time and it was fun for me to help out.
