Deseret Village

Hello to all!

Yesterday I took the kids to the Deseret Village in Salt Lake City and we had a blast! Clint was in Idaho running another marathon so the kids and I spent the day traveling back in time and walking through all the old pioneer homes.

They had an original one room schoolhouse there where we were all given a lesson in the Deseret Alphabet. The teacher even explained to us how kids would have been disciplined back in the 1800's and had Macy, Abby, and Blake come up for a demonstration.

Macy, being the oldest, would have received the strictest punishment. She would have had to stand on a log and place her nose against the wall with her hands help up behind her back.

Abby would have had to sit on a chair and wear a dunce cap.

And Blake, being the youngest, would have had to touch his toes and receive a swat on the bottom.

We had so much fun there and Blake absolutely loved the chasing the goats around and giving them kisses.
