This is the Place

Our next day in Utah was spent at This is the Place monument.  I had no idea that such a place existed but it was really cool.  It was like a whole little pioneer town with so much to see.  There were old houses and different crafts that the kids could do.  They made rag dolls and Indian necklaces.  They got to ride on a little train as well as some horses.

There was a little area where the kids were able to pet and feed some goats.  Cambria was really excited about the baby goat.

We were able to see a "Mountain Man" make lead bullets and a "Blacksmith" do some work as well.  I loved that we all had fun and that we were able to learn something as well.  It really made me grateful for my home with more than one room and our indoor plumbing and electricity.  We are so blessed in this day and age and I don't always realize it.  It's nice to get an eye-opener every once in a while.

After we finished at This is the Place, we went to the Leonardo museum.  It was a fun place where the kids could build, color and create.  I loved watching them all use their imaginations and discover new things.
