As members of the Placerville Historical Society, we were asked to help clean the museums for the Memorial Day Weekend festivities coming up soon in town. So on Sunday afternoon, we packed up some sunscreen and water bottles and rode our bikes into Placerville.
For the second weekend in a row, we enjoyed having company at our mountain getaway. Gary's brother Tom, who just recently moved back to Idaho from Arizona, spent the weekend with us and joined us on our bike trip/cleaning task in Placerville. We enjoyed his company, and hope he can visit again soon!
It is very enlightening to be a part of the historical society; we get to learn about the history of the Boise Basin and see all kinds of antiquities from Idaho's past. Pictured below is the inside of the original mercantile in Placerville, now one of the two museums.
Tom helped entertain the boys on the front porch while Gary did a lot of dusting inside.
It was a beautiful, sunny day! Ice cream treats and cowboy boot removal were necessary for staying cool.
Gordon & Grayson perused old-fashioned toys from yesteryear.
Gary swept off the porch of the Magnolia Museum as well; I enjoyed referring to him as Nels Olson from 'Little House on the Prairie,' keeping the mercantile tidy.

The bike ride home lulled Grayson to sleep.
