Heritage Days

We headed over to Osborne today for their annual Heritage Days.  I'm ashamed to say that I have never gone.  Grandma Shirley wanted to go to so we invited her along.  We had a great time!
 Jackson got to make rope!  This took me back.  I remember helping my grandpa when I was a kid.  We would make rope for hours at different celebrations.  It was really neat for me to see my kids experience this. 
Jackson also made a candle.  He lost interest pretty quick on this one, so I tried my best to finish the candle.  We also got to try some home made root beer, it was delicious!  Jackson had 2 cups full!
We, of course, had to get some ice cream!

We also walked thru the animal exhibits.  Almost all the animals were up and about.  Then we checked out the building for the rest of the displays.  Jackson bought some rock candy with change he'd gotten earlier in the day.  While we were walking to the building we ran into this guy...
Jackson just loves caterpillars!  He carried it around for a while and had to show Grandma Shirley.  I asked him what his name was to which he replied "George".
We played with George for a bit then left him happily chewing on a leaf.

We had a fun time at Heritage Days!  We will definitely be back next year!
