June 14, 2014
















We went to the Kimball Reunion at This is the Place Heritage Park today.  And it was awesome. We met Grandma and Grandpa Anderson and Uncle Craig there for the afternoon.  We had never been there before.  But it was amazing.  Our kids enjoyed an afternoon of riding a train around a faux pioneer village.  Our first stop was Brigham Young's farm house.  Kate love this most, and liked seeing all the artifacts and how they lived and the fact that the house was pink.  I heard her telling our neighbor about it later.  Also we got in free because of the Kimball reunion today and I heard Sam and Kate feeling special telling people at the park how we were special guests.  Love it.  We  rode the train and viewed an old print shop, made old time crafts, saw some Native Americans, blacksmith's rode ponies, and then got back on the train and traveled to a native american village, made native american crafts, played on a pilgram ship and panned for gold- where we actually found gold (fake gold they stock the river with)  So many things to see and do we could have spent an entire day here easily, but babies only last so long in strollers.  Then we went out to dinner again with Grandma Grandpa and Craig.  Another super fun long day.  Between yesterday's aquarium and today's pioneer adventure we feel like we are on a little staycation.  The kids have been talking every since about pioneers and indians and pilgrams and all kinds of things they loved learning about today.
