Calico

During our Fall Break we spent a lot of time around the house. We got a couple of projects done like pruning the rose bushes, pulling out a tree, weeding, and painting a porch swing. Towards the end of the break we decided it was time to get out of the house and go do something. So we went to Calico Ghost Town. We spent an enjoyable afternoon there together. There wasn't a lot to see, but we enjoyed looking at what there was. Don overheard a few people speaking German and began talking to them. They were actually from Germany and Austria and were here touring the US. It was fun to use a little bit of the German we have learned. Carson even spoke a whole sentence in German to them. They were impressed that the kids were learning it too. Don said that everytime he began to speak German it came out in Spanish. We were laughing that he needs to unlearn Spanish so he can learn German. :) The kids really enjoyed going into the candy store where they could buy candy for 10 cents. I was amazed that a place like that existed! It was a fun afternoon.

Oooh, la, la! Be still my heart!

"I'm doing my hot dog dance!"

Morgan wishing it was a real carriage ride.

Uh, oh!

Look what's happened to Dad!
