This is the Place!

Last Friday we went up to "This is the Place" State Park. Jared is in one of the buildings that the governor has decided to only have open for 4 days a week. They will be working four 10 hour shifts each week and have Fridays off (hmmm... we were already doing that) and to celebrate, the governor said that all those employees who are working the new schedule could get into any State Park for free that Friday. We took advantage! It was really cool. I hadn't been there for probably 10 years, and it has changed so much. They have all kinds of pioneer homes - from one-room log cabins to larger homes where someone with more money would have lived. They have moved them from different parts of the state (they are original homes). There are also businesses, hotels, post office, bank, etc. It is a really fun place to visit. We had a great time. The kids got to do crafts, have pony and train rides, and play pioneer games. They loved it. I don't think we even got to see everything. (I guess we'll have to go back!)

Here is a slide show of the pictures... remember if you click on it a couple of times it will open it up bigger!
