Flume Remains and County Fair

Another part of the Basin Blake didn't know about...the remains of an old flume built by the first settlers. They wanted to divert water from a creek and build a wooden flume to do it. It took a lot of work and unfortunately didn't work. You can hike the remains and still see the tall wood platforms that were supports for the flume.

 It was a mile to the remains and a mile back to the car. Grant walked almost the whole way! He tripped and fell near the end, so Blake carried him.

You would think, year after year of seeing my county fair pictures, that the Little Red Barn was the only thing offered. That's not true, but it's definitely my favorite activity we do! We've been going to this since Brooke was about 18 months old. The whole set up is so cute and the kids love pretending to be farmers, the animals, and the treat at the end!

 The bike was just a little too big for Grant to pedal. This teenage volunteer was super  nice and helped him out.

 We went with some friends and all of them loved their frozen treats at the end!

 We stopped by the craft/lego area. Brooke was in heaven making crafts to her heart's content and my boys made some lego creations that they turned in for a prize.
