This is the Place Heritage Park

A couple of weeks ago This is the Place Heritage Park had free admission and ice-cream day, so the kids and I went. We got to ride on the trains and have a lot of fun adventures



Hannah and I had a horse race, Richard was shy so he was the photographer.






Then we got to walk through one of Brigham Young's houses, though he never lived here some of his wives and children did. In the backyard we were treated to our ice-cream.




As we walked around "town" we found the pony rides. Hannah was all for it while Richard was being shy again (not sure what was going on that day with him).




This is the Huntsman Hotel. There is a cafe on the main floor.



The kids were really excited to pan for gold. Once they found two nuggets they could take them to the bank and trade them in for a piece of candy. I think this was once of their highlights.


I get laughs from them about this picture, but I think it is so darn cute!

Our last adventure of the day was on this miniature train which overlooks the Salt Lake Valley. They are so cute with each other and have a lot of fun together.




By the time we left we were all sweaty and tired. I think that they both fell asleep on the way home. But we had a great day.

Utah Lake

Chris has been aching to go fishing so as soon as he was able to buy his license we were at the lake. We discovered Utah Lake and the kids had fun in the water, rocks, and dirt.

Slip-n-slide

So I found this Slip-n-slide at Ross Dress for Less for pretty cheap so I bought it for the kids since it is 90 degress today. We immediately put it up and they have been having fun for hours, even during a brief rain storm. They are getting very creative and brave with their stunts. It's been really fun.

Zoo Day!

Hannah and I met Richard's class at the zoo today for a fun field trip. We got a special treat when Richard was able to separate from his group and hang out with us the whole time. Then we got to take him home instead of going on the bus back to school for 10 minutes, so...we stayed a couple of extra hours.


It was a lot of fun to see the changes and new animals the zoo had to offer this year.
