Fort Langley

Spring Break is over for us already.... and it rained almost the entire time! There was one day though when the sun came out so we packed up the family and headed down the road to Fort Langley.
The Fort was more kid friendly than I expected and we had a great time watching the demonstrations and exploring all the buildings.
The Blacksmith made a hook for Maarti because she helped him pick up pieces of iron after he cut them.
Jeremy's favorite part of the day was the musket demonstration. I didn't get a lot out of it because I was too busy making sure the kids covered there ears at the right time... it was very loud.
Sam was determined to find gold, but was unsuccessful. It didn't matter though... when we entered the Fort the kids were given an activity book and because they completed the activities in it they were given keychains at the end. Keychains and gold are apparently pretty comparable treasures to Sam and he came away very happy.
We had a super fun day and will go again soon.
It's fun to be a tourist in your own town!
