Indiana, Part 2....Conner Prairie

We took the kids to a very cool interactive history park, Conner Prairie.  It's a huge park that takes you back into the 1800's and what Indiana must of been like.  There are different areas, such as Prairietown and a Civil War journey.  The kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed all of the various activities.  Enjoy!

Right when you walk in there is a massive hot air balloon from 1859.

We went into the barn and found a lot of animals just walking around, waiting to be pet.

 Kinley got down to the sheep's level and had a conversation with it...too cute.

.

Colton enjoyed petting all of the animals, including this baby goat.

The goat must of liked Colton as well because she came up to him for some more petting.

  Hanging out in a covered wagon.

Kinley checking out the bed from the 1800's (smaller than her own bed).

And the rocking chair.

The kids found a chess game and had fun moving the pieces around.

This beautiful horse came right up to us.  Kinley had no fear.

Neither did Colton and asked to pet it.  

Hanging out in the town that depicts a time during the Civil War.

A school house that was turned into a communication station during the civil war.

Having fun on the wood horses.

 

Later that night, we visited with the Covele's, Matt, Tiffany and baby Liv.

Colton and Kinley had fun playing in the back yard and with Liv and her toys.
