Some of the Characters of Pioneer Days

Evan poses with a member of the Texas Milita. That's a real rifle Evan is holding. The milita men were in the woods outside of the pioneer homestead. They would show you how they loaded their rifles and then shoot them. When those guns went off, it sounded like a cannon! Oddly enough, Drew loved it when the rifles were fired...Evan and Elliot on the other hand didn't like it at all.

Evan shoots a bow and arrow.

Elliot shooting his bow and arrow. They had rings set up on a dirt hill. If you shot the arrow into the ring, you received a large feather (for your cap, I guess.) If you missed, you got a small feather. Evan and Elliot both got small feathers! Posted by Picasa
