My dad gave me a book called "Jenny of the Tetons" (by Kristiana Gregory). It is a book about an Indian named Jenny who was married to a man named Beaver Dick Leigh. They adopted a young girl named Cassie, whose parents got killed by Indians. Beaver Dick and Jenny were real people that lived in Idaho and Wyoming. They had 6 kids. All of the family (except Beaver Dick) died of small pox.
Now we are in Idaho visiting Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. On Wednesday we went to see historical areas where Jenny and Beaver Dick lived. We tried to see Jenny's grave, but the river was flooding too much. That was not cool!
We went to Beaver Dick Park, an area where they had lived. They turned it into a park and a historical place.
Now we are just chillin' out up in Idaho.
It's fun to learn about things that really happened, isn't it?
