Fort Michilimackinac...Mackinaw City...Vacation Part 2

 Today we finished up our last getaway of the year.
We went to Colonial Fort Michilimackinac.
We have been before but it had been quite a few years back.
Nate was too young to even remember!
Here are the soldiers firing the canon.
 My little fur traders!
 Inside the Native American area...
 One of the Native American interpreters.
 He spoke with us about fur trading and also how they cooked and dried fish.
 A voyageur interpreter.
 Inside the fort...
 Rifle demonstrations...

 More inside the fort...
 The colonial lady interpreters showed us how they cooked.
She was making some fish/vegetable stew!
It smelled really good!
She talked about the spices they used and where they got them.
 An owl in the rafters of the church at the fort.

 Hello sunshine!
This little guy smiled for me!  Hehe!
We had a great time.
It was a nice way to end our last vacation of the year.
Until next time!
Farewell Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island!
See you in May!
