What? You didn’t know when Heritage Day was/is? Yeah, neither did I. It was on President’s day and a local mortuary has a Heritage Festival to celebrate our American Heritage. (not sure why it’s held at the mortuary, maybe because all our Founding Fathers are dead.)
We saw the liberty bell….. DING DONG
There was pretty good marching band that didn’t do too much marching. They just stayed in the shade and played.
We saw some reptiles and their skin….
We got to take photos with George Washington….
We rode in a stage coach…. The local route was from Sacramento to Montana. And it only took NINE DAYS to get there! On dusty and bumpy roads.
The kids made fabric dolls to play with…..maybe that would make the 9 day trip not as boring….
Jacob learned how to lasso a bull….and was really good..He got it his first try!
The kids nailed the last spikes for the railroad….
We saw an old time medicine/magic show….
And drove in an old car, made in 1901 and the man who owns it still drives it all over town!

Is George Washington and the magician the same man? The goatee looks familiar.
Sounds like you had fun!
Where was Marissa?
Jacob is a natural...maybe he got that from Grandpa B.
