Busy Weekend

The three day Labor Day weekend is coming to an end, and we managed to stay BUSY!

This morning, Rebecca and Olivia put on their fireman hats and were pretending that they were taking a tour of Disneyland. Then they pretended that the hats were their "hardhats" and they were working at Disneyland! Such imaginations! Guess they are getting ready for our Disneyland trip next month!!!

Friday, I went to Scrapbooking Night at Kathy's house, and I was SOO ready to stay up the whole night scrapbooking.....I was so tired, though, I only lasted until midnight! I had a blast scrapping and visiting with Mandy, Aleanea, my mom, Kathy, and Rosemary. The conversations are always fun! And the food was really good! We also did our late-night Starbucks run! I couldn't ask for better friends to spend a Friday night with:)

Saturday, I was intending on staying home. I went to a yard sale by Mandy's house, and saw her there. We ended up having an adventurous day! Yard saling, grocery shopping.....lots of fun!
On Sunday, Chris the kids and I, met up with two of our friends and their families at Goldrush Days in Old Sacramento. The kids had a blast! (Thanks, Aleanea and Mandy for inviting us!)
Chris and Obee took the kids to wach a Wild West Show, while the rest of us went to scope out the "lay of the land" and see what there was for the kids to do. (Wild West photos are courtesy of Chris.)
The kids watchin the shootout during the show.

The kids had to pan for gold and fill the bottom of their cup up with gold. Once they had enough gold, then they would take it to the bank, have it weighed and get a certificate to do 6 activies. Once they had done their 6 activities, they would find the Justice of the Peace, and get gold coins!

The girls with their gold coins at the end!
There were beautiful horses and buggies all throughout old town! The streets were covered with dirt, lots of people dressed up in character. We finsished our day with lunch (what an adventure!!!) Then we went to Moochie and had DELICIOUS frozen yogart...well Chris and I did, the girls were fast asleep!

When we got home, Chris and Rebecca left and went to a River Cats game! It was Kids Day, so Rebecca got her face painted with a butterfly, got a balloon animal, ate a hot dog, ice cream, cotten candy, got to do the bounce house, AND at the end of the game, got to run around all the bases!!

Today, we stayed home!
