Yesterday we headed up to the local national park for pre-history craft day. Every year Zac and a few other pre-history enthusiasts set up a demonstration in the courtyard outside the vistor's center and teach people about the natives around the area.
The tables include all different kinds of replicas. They are all avid flintknappers.
These effigies (?) are awesome. I am planning on making some myself. I would like to make some and paint them also. They look fun!
Jack jumped right in and started teaching people about the arrowheads. He was a natural. The ranger asked if he would like to come work there. It was also evident that he was very proud of his dad. We all are. One of the other guys asked me what I thought of my husbands hobbies. I told him I was actually very impressed by them. The attention to detail and patience involved amazes me.
That is a fish basket on the table that someone made.
Sorry for the dark pictures. I was using my old camera since it is lighter and better for hiking. They were also making sandals out of yucca plants, cordage out of yucca, and Zac helped two of our little friends make arrows using his arrowheads.
After spending some time at the demo we headed up the canyon to take one of our favorite hikes.
The cool canyon water was a welcome relief at the top of the hike.
It was a really fun day.
