Sacramento

We arrived Sunday afternoon and just spent the day relaxing.  Ethan wanted to sleep in so he got up at about 6:30 am Monday morning. We all got ready and were off for a fun day.

Here is our cabin that is next to a pond:

Here is a picture of the cranes on the pond behind our cabin:

We loaded in the van and drove to see the Temple since nothing else was open yet. It was a but hard to find but we did it!  It was so pretty and the kids had fun walking around it.

Then we headed to the State Capitol Building. They gave free tours of the building an I wanted to see it. So we found the place and waited for the tour to begin. They had told us that our guide was verbose and that we could leave any time during the tour. I am glad they warned us because he went on and on. It was interesting but the kids were bored. Bryan pointed out to Ethan that seeing a state Capitol is required for the Citizenship in the Nation merit badge but Ethan don't care. We did make it fun though.

We are lunch on the lawn and then drove to the California Train Museum. The kids were so excited!! They made it through the "boring tour" and were ready to go someplace fun.

It was an amazing and huge train museum!! We spent over 2 hour there and the kids had a blast!!

We were tired and really hot so we went back to the KOA an went swimming (in their really dirty but cold water pool).

After swimming, we relaxed in the cabin until it was time to go to the movies!! We saw "Monster University."
