This Is The Place

Today we visited This Is The Place State Park for our Friday Field Trip. Since tomorrow is Pioneer Day and I got 50% off vouchers on ksl, it seemed like the perfect choice. Kira and Kate decided to don pioneer outfits (as best as we could do. Dorothy is sort of pioneer-ish, right?) The girls even got to join in the handcart parade and carry a giant silkworm through the pioneer village. There is way more to do and see there than I realized. I feel like we barely scratched the surface, but we had a great time. We toured Brigham Young's Forest Farmhouse, bought licorice drop candies for the kids, watched the parade, rode the train and walked a lot in the blazing hot sun. And, we got annual passes for cheaper than a day's admission so now we can go back anytime we want for free!
