Pioneer Day

I had to work July 24th which is Pioneer Day, so we celebrated the Pioneers and early L.D.S. Church history by visiting the Pioneer Museum on the 25th!

We began with a brunch date to IHOP


The Museum!  This is Taylor's new favorite church history place.


Some hair art...The hair is the early church prophets and apostles including Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, John Taylor, etc.


And we saw Emma Smith's old spinning wheel from Nauvoo
Taylor is a good boy.....
Not so good boy....
Decidedly naughty boy with a  mischievous grin....but he touched something Joseph Smith touched!...I did too..... hehe.  We made sure no kids saw us though...good examples you know...

Some of the first grand pianos brought across the plains by ox cart....and Taylor posing.


2-headed goat baby
 We have searched for this 2-headed goat for many months.  Taylor was so excited to finally find it!


Old time camera


A buggy from Yellowstone!  Thought this was pretty cool since we went to Yellowstone last month!


An old metal bike for Taylor to ride...Talk about this bike hurting your fanny...


And......The cart that Brigham Young was in when he came into the valley and said "This is the place."  Legit.  I didn't know this stuff was still around.


Also, Taylor and I decided when we are older, we will buy/make a grand piano that is old-fashioned like this...we might have to make it since  they are terribly out of tune


Everyone should go to the Pioneer Museum!
