Our Trip To Cove Fort

    Just last week we took the 2 1/2 hour drive to historical Cove Fort Utah. We had been wanting to get out of the house and do something different with our day off instead of yard work. We also had to do it on a budget. Somehow we got on the subject of Cove Fort and that I was the only one who had been before. And that was that…we were going.

 We’ve Arrived! Entrance to historical Cove Fort. Ever notice a 2 1/2 hour drive turns into a 3 1/2 hour drive with small children and thier small bladders?

 The boys did very well for being 4 and 5. I think the old kitchen was thier favorite room on the tour.

 But they were most fascinated with the gun wholes in the side of the building.

They have this cute little photo op wagon here. Its one of the few things you can touch and get on. I love how poser friendly my kids are.

 We learned that there were seasonal shoes for the oxen to where different times of the year.

 This is the blacksmith shop with the original bellow made in the 1800’s

This is a game the children back in the 1800’s would play quite a bit. They would race these metal wheels by pushing them with these special handlers. It turns out I have a unique gift… I was the only one who could keep mine up the whole time. In fact our guide said I was the best she had ever seen with this toy. Maybe I should quit my family and go on the road with my new found talent.

We will miss you Sister Vit (short for some realy long German name we couldn’t pronounce) We had a lovely afternoon with you. Maybe we will come see you in August for Cove Fort Days.
