We started out the weekend seeing the AMAZING production of Phantom of the Opera. I love the music, I love the story, I love everything about it and seeing it live was wonderful. They did such a great job. The phantom was played by this guy that won The Voice and he was sooo good.
The next day we got up bright and early to head out to Condon and meet up with Jon's dad and Uncle John. To our surprise Aunt Lexie was there too!
We had a yummy lunch down town before heading to the cemetary.
We saw some places where Jon's dad lived and went to school. We also saw an old abandoned Air Force Base
From there we headed over to Fossil. On the way we stopped to see "Granny's Cave" this is where Jon's 2nd Great Grandparents Augusta Dras and George Metteer stayed the night. They would drive freight in their wagon from Condon to Fossil. Today you have to look way down from the highway to see the cave. Back in those days the old highway was lower down at the level of the cave.
We then went to the cemetary in Fossil
It was so hot we stopped at this cute store to get some water
We saw the little school house that reminded me of the little school house Laura Ingalls went to.
We also checked out the museum that had so many cool old things.
You can't go to Fossil without digging for fossils!
We had no tools and spent only about 20 minutes digging but we found some. They are kind of hard to see in pictures but here are some
On our way back to Condon we stopped by these rocks that had some old Native American writing/drawings.
There were some beautiful views on the way there, while we were there and on the way back.
The next day we took my dad to The Ram for his birthday lunch.
We had such an eventful weekend! And this weekend it's back to working on our deck!!
