Murphy Outpost Days

We decided to check out the big town of Murphy and see what "Outpost Days" was all about. The kids learned how to grind corn into cornmeal. Pretty cool little gadgets- they thought this was fun.





Thar's gold in them thar hills! Gold panning got all of our attention, we all found some gold and we even found a few small garnets!



These were so fun to see up close! What a hassel these horns were, you should have seen them try to get their heads down to the water for a drink.





Emily cools off with a snow cone!




Cody texting????



This booth showed how saddles were made.


Cute little calf!




This turned out to be a fun trip. We learned lots of new things...especially that Emily is a great little bargain shopper. She was making deals with the vendors like a champ.
