Week 4

Our final week we made it out to Tooele to have lunch with my Aunt Pat and cousin Wendy. We usually pop in and pop out, but this time we had such a special trip! My Aunt Pat said she wanted to take us to the Tooele Pioneer Museum. They have a picture of my Great Great Grandpa Gillespie. (I'm actually not sure how many "Greats") We saw the most interesting things....like this floral art piece made from the hair of "The John Gillespie Family".


There was this really cool old cabin that they had moved to the museum...


The first piano brought to Utah by ox by Brigham Young....



And this is the old jail where next to it hangs a picture of my relative John Gillespie, who was the sheriff...


The museum was actually not open that day, but my Aunt Pat knows the guy who runs it and he opened it up so we could see the picture of John Gillespie. He was so nice and he let the kids pull on this big rope and it rang the bell that is outside on the top of the building!


After the museum Aunt Pat took us to the cutest little candy shop and she bought each of the kids a treat.
And we couldn't leave Tooele without driving past my Grandma's old house where my dad grew up. It was so weird to see and it brought back floods of memories.


MORE catching up with old friends...I got to see 2 of my great girlfriends from High School...Wendi and Racie!!!!!!

And Matt Brown stopped by too!
And then lunch with my old Young Women's leader and GREAT friend Ruth Cooper!
It was a wonderful trip of reconnecting with old friends that I love, and spending quality time with my parents, and seeing all the different family members!
