The plan this morning was for all of us to go to the Donner
Museum but with Payton being sick we couldn’t all go. So Dave volunteered to stay behind with her and
I took everyone else to the museum. I
remember the first time I went that I was afraid it would be boring but it
turned out to be really interesting. I
think my sister and Anthony had the same thoughts about going but
Anthony told me after that he thought it was pretty cool.
There is a movie that you can watch that tells about the
Donner Party’s journey, a small museum with artifacts found in the area, a cool
monument that shows how deep the snow was that winter, and a self guided tour
of the area around the museum including where one of the cabins stood.
The kids weren’t too interested in the movie, in fact Caeden
thought it was scary and decided she would rather sit in the lobby than watch
it. They were a little more interested
in the museum because of the “really big bear” and all the guns. Haha!
But the hit of the visit was the self guided tour; we made it into a
scavenger hunt for the kids and had them find all the number markers.
I am so glad we went.
