Hello Utah: Part 2 of Day 1

So, after filling our tummies with goods we had taken from the breakfast provided by the hotel, we headed out to Pioneer Heritage State Park.
Side note: On this trip we really had to learn the grid system. I had not bothered getting maps because I figured with a gps, who needs maps? Apparently, our gps does not like Utah and was totally confused by the addresses. I am sure the experience of finding our way around Salt Lake grew our brain.
Okay on with our tour of the park.....




We decided to take the little tour train around the park first.
Then we walked the little town. Unfortunately a lot of the buildings were not open yet, but it was still fun.

Brigham Young Academy




Cedar City Tithing House


Inside the Henry Draper home there was this huge, and I mean huge, bumble bee.
I felt so sad he was stuck.











 The kids got to try things out like beating the dust out of rugs and tilling the garden.
 







 





 



 The Gobble Pay Cabin


 I should be thankful that my house is as big as it is. This family raised 7 children in this little cabin.
 
Relief Society Hall.
I wish I could photo shop in my counselors.



Brigham Young Forest Farmhouse



Pine Valley Chapel

 

 The little kids got a ride on the ponies. The only one who lasted was Aeva.Once they started moving Myles and Elsa wanted nothing to do with them.





















Myles loved holding and petting the baby chicks.

 


The kids were itching to get to the gift shop.














On the way back to the hotel we went to City Creek Center.
One word: Amazing!!

 


 
 

 The girls were so excited to see the horses and carriage. I came out of the bookstore, and they were practically yelling with delight for me to turn around. I will admit, this is not what I was expecting.

The kids had a blast playing in the water while I went to Deseret Book.
Then it was back to the hotel to go swimming in the ice cold pool.
Aeva was the only one brave enough at first to get in.
A majority of us pretty much hung out in the hot tub.
