The Applegate Trail

Robert found this GREAT musuem about the Applegate Trail. It is part of the Oregon trail that came out west. It was such a great museum with such rich history! Unfortunately they wouldn't allow cameras inside the museum so we only got shots outside. All of the items in the museum are originals so we were assuming they didn't want them to get damaged with flashes from cameras and such.
The covered bridge.

Emma and I are reading 'Little House on the Prairie'. What a great visual for what it would be like to travel in a covered wagon!


She wasn't too happy that Robert was shaking the carriage, she thought she was going to fall. Though I like this picture because they have the same look as those from the film in the museum. I would too if I went through what those people had to endure!

Safety Day

Our family assisted with the fire department for it's annual Fire Prevention Week Safety Day. It was a day filled with popcorn, hot dogs and fun activities! Emma made many, many bags of popcorn for the kids... After all her hard work, she had a little fun with dad... Then she got to demonstrate some rescue equipment... It was a good day watching all the kids visit Sparky, rotate the various stations and enjoy the yummy popcorn Emma made!

Sammy

Sammy April 15, 1998 - February 20, 2014 Sammy was quite the cat. He was the king of the house for sure. Mac the 67 lb Boxer was afraid of him. He knew how to get what he wanted. He was a butter eating crazy cat. He lived a good life with lots of changes. From a cross country move to the arrival of a new man (Robert) to the birth of a child (Emma) to the adoption of a four legged brother (Mac). Yet through it all he knew he was king. I miss him lots but am happy for the time we had together.

Day 4 - Blast Off Camp

Today at camp Emma got to tour the brand new planetarium at the museum. She said it was pretty cool. Then they had lunch and made a map after lunch. And that was about it! Though I think there was more that they did, she just can't remember! But it does make me thankful that I homeschool because I know what she does all day! She did say that she wishes she could go for another week! Well that's good! I guess she doesn't miss us too much!
