A Family History trip to the Ogden Cemetery

Beck Family in front of the Johnathan Browning Memorial Marker

Ashby family in front of the Browning Memorial marker and to the side you can see the actual headstone of where Johnathan Browning was buried.

Posted by PicasaThis is a memorial stone for Martin Harris. I believe that he is actually buried in Clarkston, Utah. It is placed very close to the Browning Memorial.

Darley Family Reunion at Beus's Pond

Two of my sisters; Sherry, Cathy and one of my brothers; Larry

We missed having Denny (he had to work) and Annette's family with us.

We had a great time being together even though it was hot.

Larry's Family

We enjoyed cooling off in the water.Posted by Picasa

My sister Annette

We searched all over Ogden to find her. It was great to spend a few minutes together.Posted by Picasa

Heritage Park is AWESOME!!!

Mary Fielding Smith is a woman that I really look upto. She had faith, courage, and would do whatever was necessary to care for her family. Reading about her makes me realize my trials are so minor and I have nothing to complain about.
We had fun on this train ride.

We had a great time at Heritage Park

Doug and I spent a day at Heritage Park. We learned so many new things about Pioneer Life. We had planned to go with Heather's family to Lagoon but the weather man said it was really going to ran very heavily, so we decided to go to Heritage Park instead. We had a great time.

When the rain never came we felt bad that we had missed the time we could have spent
with the Jamison's. We are glad that they had a lot of fun at Lagoon.

A Gristmill, I imagine it looks a lot like the one Abraham Hunsaker had near Nauvoo.

Posted by PicasaI had to take of picture of how they use to turn on and off electricity. We had buttons like this in the church building that I grew up in before they remodled it.

BBQ at the Beck's

Doug had a captive audience when he taught the Beck children how to play pick-up sticks a game we enjoyed growing up and so did the Pioneer children.

Myles, Bradley and Joshua enjoying their delicious food.

Learning a great deal at Heritage Park

Beck Children in front of an Oxen.

Tanner & Carter are pounding designs into leather. Tricia is helping.

Also Parker, Camille and Johnathan had a great time designing their leather.Posted by Picasa

Making a necklace & rope

Tricia is helping Parker with his necklace he made. Bradley thinks it would be a fun thing to play with.

Tanner is learning how to make rope.

Camillle was holding the other end. It was a very interesting process to watch and the rope turned out really strong. I wish I could figure out how to do video and you could watch what they are doing.Posted by Picasa

Just like in the days of the Pioneers

Most of the Beck children at the Blacksmith shop

Beck children riding in a covered wagon.

We had a lot of fun experiencing the life a pioneer would lead in the early days of the Utah Valley. It was fun riding in a wagon like the early pioneers rode in. I felt for those woman who were wearing long dresses with several layers of slip to make our day realistic, even if the temperature was over 100.Posted by Picasa

Heritage Park is a very fun place to spend the 24th of July

Johnathan was busy helping with the wash.

Parker and Johnathan are beating the dirt out of the rugs.

Camille, Johnathan and Tanner learned how to card wool.Posted by Picasa
