gold rush days


We did a bunch of mundane errands, like going to Ikea ... TWICE over the long weekend. Fortunately, we managed to have some fun and do a bit of exploring. We ventured down to Old Sac on Sunday to check out Gold Rush Days. The city brought in dirt to cover the brick lined streets and there were horses and shootouts, along with suffragists and stagecoaches. Turns out Little Miss J really loves horses and stagecoaches. We had to wait a bit for our turn to ride and every time a stagecoach pulled away with another family in it she would cry "horse-yyyy."

and it was finally our turn. see how happy she is?
That happy little face turned to a look of sheer pain and torture, when she was informed that the ride was over. Thankfully, on Monday Gus took her to the Crocker Art Museum for Little Buckaroo Day, which included Native American dancing and a petting zoo. Can you tell which animal was her favorite?




I think it's the "horse-y." Look at that smile!

I'm glad to see "a bunny" came in a close second.
