Caleb's 4th Grade Mountain Men, Trader and Trapper Rendezvous

Today was Caleb's Rendezvous where they get to dress up like Mountain Men, and gather to trade goods. They had to be smart in their bartering and try to get a variety of items- enough things to see them through the winter.  Caleb's brought fish, fishing poles and rope to trade. He did really well...
Here's the photos:


Here's the fish and poles Caleb brought to trade. 



 He had some tough negotiating to do... his friend Steven in particular was a shrewd trader. Caleb ended up having to trade a pole 2 fish and a rope just for one pelt.

This is his good friend Ethan.

This is another good friend, Joren.
