This is the Place!

On Monday (Hooray!  I'm only a week behind now!) we went to the "This is the Place, Heritage Park".  It was super fun!  I was really sad we didn't have more time to do stuff there.  We met up with Deborah and her crew, and my friend Beth (who had just moved to SLC from AR).  Let me say again, it was SO much fun!  I'll get the writing done now so you can choose to look at all the photos, or just stop now, secure in the knowledge that it was awesome.

We looked at cool stuff, neat buildings and monuments.  We visited the petting zoo and all the kids got to ride the pony rides.  They had a good time.  The kids got to learn to card wool.  Check out the picture of Rylee with her sad-sad face.  She was sad that she couldn't get the wool right.  the lady there was lovely and so great with the children (of which we had MANY!).  We visited the blacksmith shop, which was quite educational.  We stopped by the ice cream shop and did partake.  There was a splash pad by the train, so we got distracted by that and the kids somehow managed to get soaking wet.  They dried off a bit on the train ride.  I was sad to say goodbye, but we had to leave.  The kids were disappointed to leave, as was I.  There was still so much to see and do, but there was also a lot left to do to get ready for the next part of our journey.  So I regretfully left and the fun day was over.
