Grandma Phyllis and the girls at our first stop: Farewell Bend State Park.
Sierra on the beautiful banks of the Snake River.
We let the girls change into their dresses before walking through the little museum. I wish I had a picture of other people's faces as they watched Sierra and Ally explore the exhibits.
Grandma helps the girls decide which items are most important to take in a covered wagon. Each block was labeled with things like: dry beans, blankets, musical instruments, tools, books, medicine, china dishes, gun powder, pots and kettles, etc. 
After visiting the center, we stopped to see the ruts of the Oregon Trail down in the valley.
On our way back home we stopped back in at Farewell Bend for more pictures...this time in costume!
Valerie was her usual uncooperative self when it came to picture taking! She did have a good time exploring and being carried around by Grandma all day - she just didn't make it into too many of the snapshots. Oh well! I'm sure that there will be another trip to Baker City in our future.

That's fantastic! The girls, their dresses, the backdrop! So glad you were able to do this! I loved, loved, loved Little House on the Prairie!
Looks like an awesome day!
And to think when I drive to see my family it's only 7 more hours in the car! :)
What a wonderful time you had (and educational too)! Loved seeing all the pictures. We drive through Baker all the time but have never stopped there. Now I think we'll have to make plans to, looks like fun!
Yay! I'm so glad you made it out there! I bet they LOVED it! You must frame those pictures for them! They're so cute! And what's up with Valerie?!? Doesn't she know there's a cute Christmas card that needs to be made?!? Darn those stubborn #3's! :)
Those have got to be THE most precious pics yet!
They look just like Mary and Laura!! I guess time "Carrie" will have to joing in :). I only stop by your blog every so often, I love it everytime I do!
Much Love,
Raquel
