Gold Rush Days

This weekend was Gold Rush Days at South Pass City, a historic mining town. We decided to check it out.  

They had baseball games throughout the day. The teams dressed in old fashioned uniforms complete with vintage gloves.

 Every hour they would explode an anvil into the air. It reminded me of Sweet Home Alabama.

We met a couple of guys Luke works with and their families and had a good time entertaining the kids. We brought Baxter and the three littlest kept wanting to take him on walks so I walked around with them while Luke helped the older kids pan for gold. It ended up being the three guys panning as the kids lost interest after a while. We got pretty sunburned but had lots of fun.
