Some of my favorite pictures...

As the kids get ready to head back to school, I find myself subjected to the insomnia that runs rapid in our family genes....so looking at the memories and wishing I were still there...

Capitol Reef, Utah

Seeing a Dunlap Broadside

The State Capitol building hosted a viewing of the Declaration for two days

(actually a copy called a Dunlap Broadside.)

How amazing the building looks, we would know.

We stood in line for about 3 hours.

Well worth seeing. Even the kids didn't mind the wait!

Utah state Capitol officials estimate that nearly 8,000 people

journeyed to the newly restored building Friday to get

a peek at a rare copy of the Declaration of Independence,

currently on a national tour promoting voter registration.

Yes, we were there!

It was so amazing to see this document;

known as a Dunlap Broadside.

It is a printed version of the original handwritten statement.

The renovation of the building was spectacular.
Beautiful to see. If you get a chance, take a day, have a picnic.
Go see this part of our history. Take a tour. See the beautiful Senate,
House of Representatives, Supreme Court rooms, see the artwork!
So much to learn. I love the edison lights. Go and find out why!!!
(Hopefully I will post pictures from today when I get them downloaded!)

Bats!

We fished in the night, and bats were the most exciting thing we caught. Well, the fish were pretty exciting, and the dead battery in the car. Suzie and Gavin had to RUN through the darkness to rescue our dead car and sleeping little ones. Oh my, what a memory!
