Earlier this month we headed out for a trip! Our first stop was Nevada City, Ca. This is an old goldmining town, and the old part of town was cute full of lots of saloons, soda shops, and candy counters. We enjoyed a Sunday morning hike near a canal the day after we arrived, followed by an explore around town.
I took the kids to church and that was great because it facilitated a way to get out of the cabin and let a very tired Heidi nap. She does NOT sleep well when we travel. Usually just 30 minutes or so in the car is all she gets, and that pales in comparison to what she needs. After sacrament meeting it was announced that it was Primary Program Practice! The dreaded triple P!!! I couldn't do that to my children. It's bad enough when it's your own program, but someone elses! So, we did what we had to do, and went out for ice cream. There wasn't much of a choice considering it was about 105 degrees outside. A park was not an option.
Later that evening we enjoyed our Spaghetti linner! Such a fun little cabin in the woods.
The next day we headed to the American River for some rafting! I have no photos of this fun, but let it be known it was fun! It poured rain and we had lightning and thunder, and the river guides made us a yummy lunch, and afterwards we went to hang with the Heiney's.
That night we had adventures of Roach Motel's and did a late night (10 p.m.) switch out of a nasty motel. We were trying to just bite the bullet and stay, but when we discovered there were no towels, we were out of there. We found some place better across the street. The next day we headed to Old Town Sacramento where we played games in shops, tasted salt water taffy in candy stores, and ate delicious fried and frozen things.
