Road Tripping

I hadColumbus Day off work and Cass doesn't have class on Monday's so we had an entire day to hang out.  What do you think we did with this extra day together?  We went to Price, UT!  Price is a little more than an hour away from American Fork and Cassidy's family were some of the early settlers of the area so we went to see the Peterson Family Cemetery. This was my first time there and I was actually pretty impressed with the little cemetery even if we did have to park in a lumber store parking lot walk along the fence and then sneak through a gate to get to this little piece of history :)

  

 This is a view from one end.  It looks kind of sad in this picture, but the little cemetery is actually pretty well maintained.  We took pictures of all of the headstones and then talked with Cassidy's parents the other night to learn about each person and how they are related to us.  It has been pretty fun to learn about our ancestors.

This headstone is Cassidy's great great grandparents.  His dad is named after this grandpa.

After the cemetery we wanted to do something else to make the drive worth while.  Price is a pretty small town, but there is a dinosaur museum and that is where we ended up.  Half of the museum is dinosaurs and the other half is native cultures.  Here is Cass in his dream home :)

 I loved the giant mammoth mostly for the skeleton on the left that is trying to kill it with spears.  For some reason I still laugh every time I look at it.

 In the dinosaur side they had places you could dig for your own bones.  I think I discovered something very rare in this sandbox :)

 Cass enjoyed the bigger sandbox more.  

 That was Monday and Friday we headed out on another quick trip to Wendover, NV and eventually on to Elko.  We stopped in Wendover to go to the Trace Adkins concert.  We bought tickets months ago and were so excited that if finally came.  The 1000 seat concert hall is very intimate and we learned that Trace Adkins is a really funny guy.  He interacted with the audience a ton and had a lot of funny stories that he told as he made fun of some of the audience members.

Do I look pregnant yet, Lori?  After the concert it was a shorter drive to Elko than back to our house so we went to spend the weekend with my parents.  Sorry no pictures.  We didn't do anything too exciting just relaxed watching baseball and football and talking about everything we need to do financially to get ready to be parents.  Thanks mom and dad for another great weekend!
