Heritage Park

Grandma Linda wanted to take the kids out for the day so we decided to go to This is the Place Heritage Park. It was so much fun! I wasn't real sure how it would go when we first walked into the park. There weren't a lot of people and it was really quiet. But the second house we visited the kids hand washed clothes, hung them on the clothes line and beat the rugs.

They also had some fun pioneer kids games.

It really makes you grateful for your ancestors and for the day in which we live! The first house we went to was probably as big as our living room and a family of ten lived there. WOW!

We then went to the animal area. The kids had a great time riding the horses. Kenna and Cael loved the animals. Parker loved the little river running through the coral. They had goats, calves, sheep, pigs, and many other animals. Kenna didn't see a calf and it stepped right on her foot. I think it scared her more than hurt her. After some comforting, she was off to pet another animal.

After the animal area we went through some more homes and then went to find the train. Parker had been waiting to ride the train the whole visit. It was so fun to see his face when we finally got there. I think we ended up riding the train a total of 6 times that day.

We also visited the candy store, rode in a covered wagon, played at the playground in small houses and on a wooden train.

Parker found a pile of parts and junk and was so fascinated.

After 4 1/2 hours at the park our ride home was very quiet. The kids had a great day! Thanks Grandma Linda!
