Jacob Hamblin Home Visit

In front of the home.

A cool thing to take a picture by.


Taking a break from the walk for a photo-opt



We had our Stake Conference last week and since all the kids were still recovering from sickies we thought it would be fun to go check out the Jacob Hamblin Home. This is a church historical site here and just minutes from our house. Since we drive past it everyday we thought we should go see what it's all about. Jacob was an early settler in Santa Clara, Utah. He was a great friend and peacemaker to the Indians and a wonderful missionary. It was interesting to find out more about him and his life and how he fits into our community. He had several wives and had a total of 24 kids, woah. He helped to build a fort in Santa Clara, which is not here anymore, but there is monument that represents that. We walked from his home to the monument to get the whole experience... I was surprised the kids walked the whole mile!

Fun times and I love the facial masks in the post below. I don't think I could convince Dev to do that but I may try someday.

By the way, you look so much like Ashley (or is it that she looks like you since you're older?) in these pictures. :o)
