Our first meal in Mt. View, at a place on the river called
"Anglers".
|
Mom & Kaylee are down on the grassy area playing at Angler's.
Lovely view!
|
Steve checking out the view
|
There used to be a ferry that crossed the river before that
bridge was built.
|
Kaylee & Grandma skipping stones on the river.

Just a swingin'.

|
"Mountain View" tower
|
Heh.
|
On this porch, a small group was pickin' and singin' and dancin'
and stompin'.
|
At the park there were three gazeboes. Each gazebo had a
different group playing, and folks would move their chair to
whichever group they wanted to listen to. Groups varied from
gospel to comedy to country to a mix.
|
This was the most popular group, excellent musicians who had
quite a crowd
|
This was a group of folks who swapped around instruments with
each other, took turns singing, and just were having a great time
doing it.
|
On to the Ozark Folk Center. This lady was demonstrating
candles, beeswax and how to make them, fun facts, etc.
|
Steve and Ernie checking out the rifle store with the man who
hand builds and repairs rifles.
|
Kaylee's in the school house. We decided, upon reading the
rules for teachers back in 1915, that neither of us would have made
it.
|
An excellent example of a root cellar to check out, minus the
spiders.
|
Just being silly.
|
Basket making...
|
Steve & Kaylee checking out some of the goods
|
Fake feeding the fish by waving their arms around. Not sure
that's so nice.
|
Mom & Ernie on a garden tour of herbs and plants
|
Painting copper with heat.
|
The pieces are hard to see the color/detail here, but they're
just beautiful, all painted only with fire.
|
These guys played music and provided comedy for whomever was
stopping by.
|
The copper was so neat, Kaylee went back with Grandma to show
her, too.
|
See the butterfly she's "painting"?
|
Just watching...
|
Making glass creations was also really neat to watch.
|
Pottery, bowls, cups. She's making a cup while answering
questions
|
Waiting on the porch for me...
|
Kaylee with Ma and Pa Pioneer. ;)
|
Steve makes a lovely lady!
|
I'm not much better. ;)
|

And there is either Whiskey or Tango, the donkey giving us a
ride.

Kaylee got to pet and give him a treat.
|
The printer. Also a neat area.

Watching the printer explain what he's doing
|
Quilting, by hand, the real way, with a lady who was very good at
it.

At the clothing shop, the sign says "Don't touch", so she just
touched the sign...
|
Kaylee with another interesting family. ;)
|
Steve, Ernie and Patty on the bench at the zip line/treetop
adventure area.
|
Kaylee harnessed up and ready to zip.
|
And away she goes!
|
Look at her face as she's staring at me. :D
|
Off into the trees!
|
Now I'm signing up to go zipping too...
|
So did Mom--there she goes!
|
Me getting hooked up to go too. Three generation zip lining
today. :)

Going to the concert at the Ozark Folk Center

This was Mike Snider and his...band? Group? Really
funny, very talented, very enjoyable!

By our cabin, a farewell photo op.
|
Goodbye cabin...
|
Flying home in the Aerostar.
|
Goofing off, of course!

|
I'd say these three are self-explanatory too. ;) |
