On Friday Jean and the kids and I headed up to This is the Place park in Salt Lake. Usually I go alone with the kids and just do a couple parts of the park, but with Jean there, we did almost ALL of it. We toured Brigham Young’s home, we panned for gold, dug for gems, made Native American necklaces, played and picnicked in the playground, petted animals in the petting zoo, did farm chores, rode the ponies, watched men burn themselves in the blacksmith shop, and crafted in the hospital. Whew! The weather was so nice, though, and so we didn’t wilt in the heat or cold and could power through it all.
