Izzy took us with her to Auburn!! It was so much fun. We ate mexican salad that one of the nice 4H groups made (4H is an agriculture based club for young kids) and looked around gorgiose old town Auburn. We went to a little museum and learned about some of California's gold mining history. Lots of people came here in the 1840's and 50's to look for gold, and they used lots of ways to get it, including pans which they dunked in streams with some dirt in them and swished it around, all the way to big water cannons to tear into the sides of mountains. Auburn's hills are full of scars from the big water cannons. it was so neat! We also saw an old bus, only $10,000. ha ha.
