Our Staycation

For Hell Week this year I decided to do a little staycation for the kids.  On the first day we hit Thanksgiving Point's Ancient Life Museum and the Children's Garden.  The kids loved all the the things to see and touch.  Ashton and Colten could have played for hours in the erosion sand box.
  On the second day we met up with our friends the Hardings at Hogle Zoo.  The two older boys (Ashton and Carter) were more interested in reading the map than anything.  I think Reagan was overwhelmed with everything to see and all the people.  She was really quiet and wanted to stay in the stroller most of the time.
  On the third day we went to This is the Place, Heritage Park.  It's a pioneer village made up with lots of original buildings from the Utah valley.  I loved going there as a kid - I loved all things pioneer when we moved to Utah.  My kids really liked it too.  They loved riding the trains and the ponies. We had  a little adventure when we tried to leave.  My camera case that had my keys in it but not my camera, went missing.  We ended up getting a golf cart to ride around the park until we found it...Ashton was really worried we were going to be stranded.
