I don't know how many times we have driven by Fort Deseret on our way to or from Tooele, but this last trip we decided to stop. I thought that it was pretty cool that the mud and straw wall is still standing from over 100 years ago.
By the time Bowen and I caught up to Mark and Dayler inside the fort, Dayler was an expert on the fort. "Mommy the cowboys built this fort to keep the Indians out. They would look out those holes and say Oh my gosh there's Indians out there."

Practicing. Shooting Coyotes of course. What were you thinking?
Yep, people were shorter then.

I have lived here my whole life and never stopped. I really need to get out more! I think my kids would like to see that place too!
I've never been there! I didn't even know it was there, although I think I've only been to Toole once. I have been to a couple of the other forts on the drive from AZ. I always enjoy them. I'll have to make a point to visit this one next time I'm in SLC.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by my YW blog. I'm really glad you liked the FHE in a jar. I think they turned out pretty cute and a lot of the treats looked really good. Let me know how it all turns out! And if you ever have any activity/lesson ideas you think are fabulous, feel free to send them our way and we'll post them and give you credit.
