Museum Field Trip

As you know we've been studying California History. This last week we went to the original Lakeport courthouse which is now a museum. Uncle Don came along to help me keep track of children and the Auch's joined us for fun. We saw fish baskets, fish nets, traps, a tule boat, a rabbit skin blanket, storage baskets, Indian money, spears, and arrow heads. /We also saw early American settler items like guns, clothes, phonagraphs, dishes, books, blankets, shoes, billiard tables, and pianos. We got to sit in the original courtroom at the judges seat, with all the record books behind us. I am describing all of this because I forgot to take pictures. :)

The pictures below are Uncle Don treating us to pizza where I finally remembered to snap a few. Titus adores Uncle Don and follows him everywhere. Uncle Don teases him by walking away and hiding when Titus isn't looking. They are great pals.

I love the picture of Mikey Auch giving Jana the death stare. In the picture of Kelly and Sam, they are haggling over Sam's pay to clean up Jana's poop in the high chair. They agreed on $2.
