Gold Rush Days!

Over Labor Day weekend we made a trip to Old Sacramento for Gold Rush Days. It was really fun; the kids were able to visit an old school house, see a western shootout and drink homemade Sarsaparilla; all the while horses and wagons roamed up and down the streets. Eating at Joe's Crab Shack for lunch wasn't bad either!

As we were leaving that day, Cody saved Gail's life as we now say. Gail was holding her arm in front of the elevator doors to keep them open while we all got out. Well, the elevator had been malfunctioning all day so the doors slammed shut with her entire arm stuck inside. As we all looked on in horror Cody yells, "FINAL DESTINATION, OH CRAP!" He runs up, grabs a hold of her and yanks her out of the elevator. Thanks Cody, that could have turned out really bad!


Ty was mesmerized by this man's beard.

The new rules we've adopted in our house. :o)

Cute school girls.
