Star of Republic Museum

The Star of Republic Museum at Washington on the Brazos was so neat!!! And Dawson and I have been studying Texas history this month so he was actually interested in a lot of the artifacts and exhibits. And Brady was just happy to run around and play. :-)

Yee-haw! One of the cutest cowboys ever!

Another cute cowboy!

Drum, drum, drum.

The drums were definitely popular with the kids.

Listening to a neat story on Texas before they constructed their own mini Texas scrapbook. Aren't they all so cute?!
