Conner Prairie

Spring Break was fantastic! The first weekend we traveled to Connor Prairie, just outside of Indianapolis. They recreate the 19th century from two different years, 1836, and 1886, with the "frontier" of Indiana. Costumed interpreters, period clothing, animals galore, and everything is hands on. The kids (and we) had a blast! We couldn't have asked for better behaved children, or a better vacation.

I think the guy at the bottom is sizing up Garrett for his scalp. Is he holding a tomahawk?

No, he's teaching Garrett a traditional Lenape (Delaware, same as Chingachkook) song. That is a gourd rattle in his hand.
