Seventy and a Thousand


Walking home from picking up Dallin and his best friend Scott from school I overheard the following conversation.

Dallin: We have to keep our house clean so someone will give us money for it.

Scott: I know we had to do that too.

Dallin: Did you know that someone will have to give us seventy dollars for our house?

Scott: I think that houses are more like a thousand.

Dallin: Yeah, like a thousand and seventy.


Here are some pictures of our clean house. We are asking for a little more than $70 or even $1000. :o)

Sacramento Railroad Museum

it so happened that our great friends the Harrison's were going to visit the Railroad Museum, I thought that would be a great place to go before we left, so we went. It was a ton of fun all the kids loved being able to board the trains and touch everything. I am always so amazed at how huge the trains are. I love museums where the kids can run around and touch everything, its so much less stress as a parent.

Here are some pictures I took.

Rail road spikes



Mail bags in the mail car. The guy said that as they were passing thru a town the mail person would have to kick one bag out the train car and at the same time catch the one being tossed at him. Talk about stressful jobs.



The boys looking thru the tunnel, actually its a mural painted on the wall.



Each train would have it's own china design. This is the California Poppy design. I love it.
