Wild West City
We had a great time at Wild West City. Nate loved the Mountain Man and was mesmerized by his stories of surviving off the land in the frontier times. He thought if he was like them that he could definitely be on an episode of Man vs Wild. Ben loved whacking the bushes with his new sword and taking the stagecoach ride. He even made gold nuggets (gold spray painted rocks) so we could give them to the outlaws that rob the stagecoach when we go next time.
