Remember last year when I raved about the Colonial Fest ? I'm still the mom that carts her kids around to every historic reenactment she can find -- especially when admission is free! Cove Fort is a Historic site owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The majestic structure was built over 100 years ago to provide lodging for travelers. Free tours are offered year-round, but Cove Fort Days is only held annually, the first weekend of August. The volunteers all donate their time and talents to provide a highly educational and immensely enjoyable event. My kindred-spirit cousin informed me she'd be taking her kids, so I braved the 2 hour drive with my own little ones. Eight hours and seven sunburns later, we returned home, exhausted, but tremendously satisfied. This link will show you a picture of the trees as they appeared up until last year....
