Busy Day

On the last full day of our Carbon/Emery tour we went to Grandpa Gus and Grandma Glenna's house. Both of these sweet grandparents have passed on, and their house is in the process of being purchased. We wanted to spend some time there, looking around and taking pictures before the new owners move in. Cali, Carter, and Caleb sitting on the steps of 7 E St.

No trip to Helper would be complete without a stop off at the Mining and Railroad museum. This is a great museum, which has recently been remodeled and updated. The kids like most of it, but were disappointed that they weren't able to get in the rail car...it was still under construction. They also had a great display of civil war and Abraham Lincoln artifacts, it's a travelling exhibit that is making a stop in 40 states.

Next, off to get some lunch to eat at the Dino Mine park. This is a really fun park in Price that we go to almost every time we're in town. Cali loved the tire swing, and pushed her as high and as fast as possible...but it wasn't fast enough! She kept screaming for me to push it faster...while Carter watched in horror and begged me to stop the swing.

Finally, to cool off in the afternoon the kids ran through some sprinklers. We were dying of heat stroke...it was nearly 95 degrees and our poor cold Wyoming bodies couldn't take the heat!
