Gold Rush Days

This weekend we went to Gold Rush Days in Old Sacramento. It was so much fun! They start by bringing in 8 trucks of dirt the night before and cover the streets so it looks like it did during the Gold Rush. Then there were many people dressed for the period. The dresses they were wearing were beautiful. Then there were guns fights, which were very impressive. That's what Josh was most excited about. The actors would walk through the streets hollering that they were going to take back their land. Then they'd meet and the gun fight would begin. We also panned for gold, then cashed it in at the bank on the old fashion scales. Josh got a gold nugget and a certificate to go to the tents and buy something. While we were there we also did; old fashioned bowling, tried on hats, Gramma S bought the boys guns, had treats, petted horses and mules, saw a cannon firer, heard live music and walked through shops. We had a great time with Grandpa & Grandma Surganovich and Aunt Teri. It was a great way to spend a Saturday.
