Weekend Vacation: This is The Place State Park

It was time for another mini weekend vacation+1. This year we decided to try something new and visit This Is The Place State Park. It has been years since either Dave or I have visited the monument. One of our zoo trips we parked in their parking lot and thought this would be a fun place to visit. After checking it out on the internet it would be a perfect day trip. Our +1 Day on Friday was set to go. The day started really early for Dave & the kids as they caught the early flight @ 6:18am to meet me in Salt Lake. After a quick breakfast we were off with a promise to the kids if we got done early we would play at the zoo also.

Main Street

Petting the ox.

She was so fascinated by all the animals and constantly touching them. However, she was mostly fascinated by the tail and wanted to stand behind them. The pioneers were constantly reminding her not to stand to close. Lucky for her nothing happened.

Pioneer Chores...Milking a cow.

Doing the laundry.

Panning for gold...fools gold that is.

The Tiny Train ride.

Pioneer crafts, flour sacks, yarn bracelets.

This is the Place Monument

Wow, we were there all day. There was still so much to see. We hit all the crafts and demonstrations. It was a great place to visit and might become a must do. The kids were so excited to have grandma come and play.

Everyone was tired and wanted to cool off and swim.
