A few weeks ago Uncle Tony came for a short, but wonderful visit! We decided rather than making him do our Saturday chores with us, we would do something new! So we went to This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake for the day. It was a gorgeous, sunny day--a bit nippy, but it beats today's horizontal snow/wind!
The park has monuments dedicated to the first settlers of the Salt Lake Valley and a village that is a replication of homes and buildings of the early Pioneer days. However , we will have to make it another outing later this spring when all of the buildings are open--they usually have people dressed in period clothing and activities and crafts throughout the village. Fortunately, our train engineer/tour guide had keys to the schoolhouse and let us take a peek!
The mini-village:
This was such a fun day! Why does it always take someone visiting to make us take advantage of all there is to do and see around here? But we are always so happy when they do come--we LOVE visitors! We enjoyed having you spend some time with us, Uncle Tony!
