This past week was spent reading books about the Civil War. It was a fun little thing to study. We read about Abraham Lincoln and several little books on the Civil War. On Friday we visited Utah's link to the Civil War. We ventured out to Camp Floyd in Cedar Fort. We were able to tour the Inn and the old commissary. We watched a little video and went to the cemetery.

On our way home we decided to go to the Hutchings Museum in Lehi. It is a fun little museum that has a wide variety of things to see. Bugs, rocks, birds, shells, pioneer artifacts, Indian artifacts etc.

Alex checking out the rocksIt was a fun day, until on the way home the kids were thirsty so we thought we would stop at grandmas for a drink but no one was home. So we headed on our way. While we were stopped at the stop light on Center Street in AF we saw Eric's sister waving at us on the corner so we stopped to see what was going on. Well Eric's mom was rear ended and then the driver took off so they chased them down while calling the cops. They were finally able to get them to stop and they pretended not to speak English. Finally when the cop showed up they were up set and they were able to speak a lot of broken English. So while we were sitting there with them this lady comes up to the cop to tell him about a van that just got hit and the drive drove off. What is bad is that it was MY VAN. Luckily it doesn't have much damage mainly paint transfer and scratches, but still. What has happened to the integrity of the people in the world??? We have been talking about having integrity and being honest with our kids for weeks now. We are reading in the Book of Mormon where it only takes your word to prove that you will do something. What happened??? Oh Well I just feel bad that people can't be honest. This is the second time in a year and a half we have been hit and had the person drive off. (I chased down the first one with my heart pounding a hundred miles an hour) I just hope I can raise honest kids and that I can be honest in my own dealings.
