This is the Place Heritage Park

 We didn't have too much planned for the week that Palmer and Lincoln were at EFY so Grandma and I took Hunter and McKay to the This is the Place Heritage Park.  They have booth been here before, but it was so long ago, they didn't remember it. 
 Grandma is a good one to have along when you do anything pioneer-ish since she knows a lot of stories about the pioneers. 
 They had these beautiful wagons full of flowers all over the park.  
 This lady was deaf.  I tried to talk to her a little bit with what I have learned during our "signing moments" in our ward, but I couldn't get very far.  I really wish I knew more sign. 


 The boys could have stayed with the stilts forever.  It was so hard, and they were determined to do it. 
 Cute grandma helping them both out. 

 Beating the rugs.

 The boys got to try carding wool.  It was so awesome that nobody was really there.  We went a little late and the place was pretty empty.
 This was beautiful!
 Watching the make donuts. 

 Of course we had to try some.



 Finding out what they would do in a barber shop.
 This mini train was so cute!

 Panning for gold was definitely a favorite of the boys!
 They could have done it forever. 






 Even when we left I now they weren't done.



 Checking out the telegraph office.
 And the pharmacy. 
 Then we took our gold to the bank to see how much it would have been worth back then.
 I'm pretty sure they would have been rich.


 The leather shop
 Pounding out some designs on the leather.


 Again, they could have done this all day!
 It was pretty hot, so we stopped for some ice cream.


 The blacksmith shop.
 There was a fun park to play on.  It closed at 5:00, so we didn't have a lot of time to play, but they got to a little bit.  They both especially loved the zip line.
I'm not sure why I didn't get a picture of McKay on the zipline.  He was running all over the place.  We had such a fun day!
