We went up to Salt lake to "This is the Place" Monument State park! It is absolutely darling and the kids did so many fun things that the Pioneers did. I was shocked how many cute things they had going on, especially since it was the Pioneer weekend.
The kids helped with Chores {washing Clothes}, they Pulled handcarts, Played Tug o war, exchanged Money in the Bank, rode horses, enjoyed a darling Petting zoo, Walked through Brigham Youngs home, rode in a Covered Wagon and had a Watermelon eating Contest!
We seriously learned so much today about the Pioneers, and the kids were so Awesome, especially since it was 106 degrees today!!

Helping with Chores. Washing and Ironing.
It was a Priviledge to go to school then, and the teacher explained all about if you broke the Rules... It was pretty bad!
The Bank
We ate Lunch there and the kids spent their money in the Candy shop at the very first "ZCMI" shopping store.
Pulling Handcarts
The Petting area, which was so dang cute, we were up and close to Cows, sheep and Little goats, the kids were LOVING this part!
Horse rides...
Hayes was so funny, he was so excited to ride on a horse like woody, and wouldn't stop talking about it all day and then of course started to cry right before the ride. We made him ride the horse and he was Fine. Of course at the end of the ride he was loving it!

-My memory of you is when you and Cory were first married you were obsessed with huge shoes! Your boots and sandals were always so high with super thick heels. They were all the style back then and you loved it! Always a style diva.
