Time Travelers

My class has to do a report on the Gold Rush and either do a drawing or take a picture of what our character that we made up would have looked like.
     Cooper, Wylie, and I decided to head down to Placerita Canyon to take our Gold Rush pictures.

In this photo here, Dad made me bring my violin so it would look like I was playing a fiddle. Cooper snapped along. But, Wylie wasn't exactly enjoying it.

I created a person for my auto-biography called Lee Holsted. He comes from Cornwall in England and comes to California so he can get some money so his  parents are able to keep the house from being lost in the debt they were in.
        After many attempts to pull my hair back, I still look like a girl dressing up to look like a boy!
       Dad, Cooper, Wylie, Violet, and I all helped set up a camp ground. Maybe we went a little over the top, but hey! At least it was really fun!

  

Lee Holsted pans for gold instead of mining for it. Here, I was panning for gold in the tiny stream that flowed through Placerita Canyon. Unfortunately, my luck must have been low because I didn't find anything.

Here are my pals, Nic Froter and Carter Holly, aka, Cooper and Wylie. At one point, Cooper was on my claim so I hit him in the head with my shovel.( I was just pretending!)

Here is my finished project!
