Day 5 of the Schurra Family Visit!

Today we took a rode trip to Idaho, where we stopped at the Cataldo Mission, Kellogg, and Wallace. Mom wasn't feeling good, so she stayed home (too many cherries yesterday?). Pam's family decided to pass, too, so it was just Todd and his family, Martin and I and the girls, and Kristi. It was a very hot day (mid 90's), so we packed a bunch of water and started off at about 9am. Our first stop was the very old and beautiful Cataldo Mission. It has an amazing set of historical facts and we all really enjoyed walking the grounds and touring the mission.Can you believe this view?! We took a lot of pictures of all of us. The weather was perfect!

Our next stop was Wallace, ID, where we took the Sierra Mine Tour. We bought our tickets, then walked a block or two for some lunch before our scheduled tour at 1pm. We dined on pizza and salad bar -- oh yah, and some candy that Brook and Uncle Todd helped Audriana and Sofia win at an arcade game. That was fun.
We all look so funny wearing our miners hard hats (although Sofia couldn't keep hers on her head and she kept wanting to trade hats with me!). Here we all are in front of the entrance to the mine. Our tour guide was Wade who worked the mines in this area in the 1950's. Great man with a lot of knowledge. He was the kind of guy that you would want to invite to your house for dinner just to hear him talk about his experiences. I took some pictures inside the mine, but they didn't turn out too good (too dark). Oh yah, Sofia fell asleep in there and Martin and I had to carry her for the last half (30 pounds of sweet)!
