Ft. Bridger

I can't recall going to this rendez-vous with Lex before which means it's been nine years since we've attended this event. I don't think it's changed much, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. Lex & Isabel had most of their cousins camping as well, so there was plenty to do all day.

Shane's primitive attire for day one of black powder shooting.

 Grandma Leslie bought the boys their chokers and they were happy to wear them everyday.

We saw this cute little chihuahua while walking traders' row. The owner made this leather outfit for his dog and there was so much detail in it!

We also got to see bagpipers and Indian dancers.

Lex just adores his new cousin, Jax. He was a great helper in trying to entertain Jax when he wasn't feeling too happy.

Shane & Todd after the mountain man "run". Todd took 2nd and Shane took 3rd. The guys had to shoot various targets, set a trap, tell a story, throw a knife, and dance with a stranger!

Shane at "council fire". He took 3rd out of 65 participants in the black powder rifle shoot. Unfortunately, this particular event only places to first which is the prized gun. Maybe next year!

Lex & Dallin were so excited to get their first tomahawks and couldn't wait to test them out. The boys were pretty good shots for first timers. Maybe they can compete in next year's tournaments.

This is Isabel's new doll, Lolli. She wanted a picture of her doll from the front & back!

Most of the Jorgensen cousins
