Friday we went to Sutter's Mill to learn where and how gold was discovered.

Then the girls tried their own luck. The specks of fool's gold kept them looking for quite awhile but like most 49ers they realized it wasn't so easy to find...

If you are interested there is a really fun chapter book for kids on the Gold Rush called
By the Great Horn Spoon. It is so much fun I would recommend reading it out loud as a family so you don't miss it yourselves. It fits in a lot of historical details, too.

Great photos, Darcie. How fun to have Emily and Bailey for what seems like a really long visit!
