Andrew's Navajo Hogan

Andrew had to create an Indian dwelling for school. He of course couldn't choose the easiest one, the teepee. He had to go with something that stretched his mom's creativity a little more. All right, so he came up with how he wanted it all on his own, I just had to come up with how to make it happen. While he was out behind our house looking for some small sticks he came across some 'clay mud' that would make 'the best ground.' Since no small sticks could be found we had to get really creative. I decided cinnamon sticks would make fabulous sticks for the structure of the house and then we used clay for the roof. A trip to Cal-Ranch for some animals, a description tag, and clay cactus later and voila...

a Navajo Hogan. He did such a great job and really worked hard on this project. I'm so proud of him.
