September

We did a few unique activities in September, the first being a trip to Promontory Point to see where the Transcontinental Railroad was connected. The drive was longer than we anticipated and the weather was a bit drizzly AND Max decided to get a sick tummy while we were there, but nevertheless, we are glad we went. We walked around the little train museum, watched a short video about the railroad, and my favorite--watching a re-enactment of the "Golden Spike" ceremony! The actors wore period clothing and and had props and everything. It was pretty neat and I'm glad the kids got to see it. The actors:

Luke got to hold the golden spike!

Poor Max was sick in his stroller for this one.

After visiting Promontory Point, we headed over to Brigham City to check out Peach Days (we were not too impressed) and to visit some graves of Ben's ancestors. Ben already posted about this, but here is another picture from the cemetery. I always love visiting cemeteries. I know, I'm weird. It just helps me regain perspective about my life.

The girls have been wanting to do a bake sale/lemonade stand for awhile now and I always put them off. I told them when we got moved in and settled a bit, we could do it. We did it on a beautiful day in mid-September and their good friends joined us for it. The girls wanted to donate the proceeds to Primary Children's Hospital and so we are headed up there this Saturday to donate it in person. They earned $50!

Sunday dinner at Sue's house. The kids always beg to pull out the dress-ups. Sue has the best ones! The kids can dress up for a full hour and be completely entertained.

Isn't Max adorable???

Blowing a kiss! Love this boy.
