To celebrate Pioneer Day weekend, we took the kids to This Is The Place for education and fun! It was SO hot but we had the best time. It was much cuter than I was anticipating. It is pretty much 40 acres of dirt roads, wooden paths, original log cabins and homes of the pioneers, main street with a bank, store, hotel, shops, schoolhouse, and tons of activities. I highly recommend this place!
Brigham Youngs Farmhouse
One of the main streets
A small house with one bed for 7 children!
Chase and Boston doing the laundry
Caden in the Watermelon Eating contest
Crew with his watermelon
The boys in the schoolhouse.
The kids village had about 8 cool playhouses.
The boys with their Deseret Dollars - the original currency in Utah
All the kids eating Farr Ice Cream - doing business in Utah since 1890!
Hayes and Crew - double trouble - at least they are finally friends!
Caden with the sheep
Chase wanted to bring this guy home with us
All the kids loved the petting zoo!
The pony ride was a favorite for my boys...
Especially Crew!
A ride in a covered wagon.
The miniature train ride
The night before, we did fireworks with the Rhodes. We had some pretty fun ones this year.
The parachute one was their favorite. It launched off about 30 parachute and the kids got to try to catch them.
Crew tollerated the fireworks.
Kiana creative with her sparkler.
Smoke Bombs
The Finale
