What We Did on our Summer 'Vacation'...

Alright, it was a working vacation, first to California and then to Utah to sell art.  Work for Don, play for the rest of us, most of the time....
Aurora churning butter.  Isn't her hat adorable?  I spent hours on it, saving it from its near-death state and turning it into a period correct piece of attire.  Wouldn't you know she promptly lost it between California and Utah?

Rora working at her lemonade stand.  Her repeated cries of "Lemonade and water - only one dollar!" helped her sell out...twice...in less than thirty minutes.

The wonderful couple who own and run The Yankee Reb mercantile got themselves a dog, part dalmation and part chihuahua, and named her Belle.  Of course Belle thought the dog was her own dog - wouldn't you at three?

Forgot the camera when we went to the beach, but our next stop in the journey was the bridge over the Grand Canyon on 89A.

Spent a lovely Sunday afternoon at Temple Square.  Aurora was disappointed that we couldn't go inside and get sealed, or at least touch the temple.  One day....

A couple of pictures from This Is The Place...


In Orderville (finally - we got to stop in Orderville, yay!), riding into Bedrock.

And finally, a couple of other milestones from the summer:


Don't knock it - this is a MAJOR milestone with the twins!  (She'll kill me in ten years, but it's worth it!)

How was your summer?
