Lund, Nevada!!!

We didn't camp as planned, due to barfing children, but we did go up to Lund for just the day last Sunday. We visited Grandpa's grave (and other ancestors- we took pictures of lots of other headstones, too), and apparently Grandma's future grave. We had a picnic in the cemetary with mom, Grandma, Roger, Ann & Adam. We really enjoyed seeing everyone, learning a little about our history, and the very beautiful scenery! It was so serene and peaceful- I can see why Grandpa wanted to be buried there.

An owl flew into a tree at the cemetary while we there! I've actually never seen an owl in "real life" before- and during the day, too!

Grandpa Gubler's birthplace- his parent's home is no longer standing, but it was located in front of these trees- where the lighter colored, flat grass is.


We went to the Lund Muesum! There's was even a picture of mom in this museum! They have a picture of Grandpa's parents celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and mom is a little girl in the picture.

A doll-house sized stove.

A creamer used to separate milk and cream, I think this said it was donated by Grandpa's brother George. Mom told us Grandpa's father would take the cream to Ely to sell. It took him 3 days round trip with a wagon and horse. He'd camp on the way.

Mom- correct me if I'm wrong here- I think you said this was one of Grandpa's Uncle's house?
And that he was a little bit of a character?

Grandpa's elementary school! Then it was one room, now it's been added on to. The date says 1915. The girls got to play on the playground, which was great to release that road-trip energy!

Aunt Lucille's house (Grandpa's sister). Mom said when Grandpa's father died, she remembers he was laid out for the viewing in this house.

Grandpa's high school. Built in 1931. They no longer use this as their high school, they have a nice new one. There was a random chicken hanging out like 5 feet from here. Seemed very Lund.

Completely unrelated, we had a little "flower party". Caitlin's idea. Her and Lizzie each picked 3 friends to come over. We did flower projects, painted faces, played "pin the stem on the flower", and played in the sand box.

Cheers! The highlight was using these glass cups and punch bowl. The girls felt super cool and grown up using these! Grandma gave them to me because she loves me the best. (just kidding!)

For dessert, we did the ol' worms in mud thing (which is really gummy worms in a mashed oreo/chocolate pudding/whipped cream mixture). Yummy!!!

So that's what we've been up to lately!
