Saturday at K-P

No Rain!
I guess it rains a lot in the Northwest. Who knew? ;)
Today we went out to the Black Diamond historic museum. That's in the town of Black Diamond for you out-of-towners. On our way there we came across a one-lane bridge going over the Green River Gorge. We stopped on the other end and walked onto it. The gorge dropped below us about 200 ft.

It was spectacular. On the other side of the bridge was a gate that opened to this nice little private park with a creek running through it. There were some noisy geese floating in little pools created by some clever damming that had been done on the creek. The girls loved running around in this cute little park.



The museum was a cute little tribute to days-gone-by with all sorts of Americana. It had an old doctors office, general store, old tools, a flashlight collection, a button collection designed into a neat mural and tons more stuff. The old dears who were running it loved the girls and gave them some complimentary candy from the old-fashioned candy counter. However it was totally offset by Chris' $20 donation to the museum. We went across the street to a pizza/deli. It was a nice place with good cheesy pizza for the girls, pasta and a sandwich for Chris and Mirissa and a Wisconsin brat for Robert. You could also get a Packers pizza if you really wanted to stay in the cheesehead groove. They had all sorts of brain teaser puzzles that kept the girls entertained while we waited for the food. It was really a cute little place.

Our next stop was Flaming Geyser State Park. We were excited to see this geyser of flame shooting out of the ground. It sounded spectacular.
