This is the Place

They had 3 of these tubs full of baby chicks. This was a huge hit for the kids!

When Braxton got this chick…I think he squeezed the chick too hard, the poor chick was chirping like crazy. 

They had an open area that these goats roamed and we allowed in to go in and pet them.

Love how Braxton hand is on Makena's arm. He wanted to pet the goat but not get too close!

Panning for gold

Riding the mini train. We got to ride it around 2 times. This was the best thing around for these kids. They had such a fun time on the train. It went around a pond that had lots of geese around it.

Geese with their babies. These geese would be up at the top of the hill and when we would come by on the train, they would all go down the hill. Once we passed, they would make their way back up to the top. I wonder how many times these geese go up and down that hill.

We were able to go to This is the Place today. I haven't been up there since I was a teenager. So this was a first for all of us. I remember just going up there looking at a statue and walking around reading signs. Not much fun if you asked me. But they opened up a village that all sorts of activities for the kids and buildings from the pioneers to go in. It was baby season up there, so lots of baby animals were out. We were up there for about 2 1/2 hours and unfortunately didn't get to see everything, but that just means we will go back up again. We had such a fun time up there. I even enjoyed myself. It was fun to hang out with Neil and watch the kids enjoy their selves. Afterwards we went out to dinner and then hung out at Neil and Shirley's for a bit. Such a fun day today!
