My Mom and I took the kids to the "This is the place heritage park" on Tuesday. The kids really had alot of fun. I remembered going there as a child on a school field trip or something, but it had even more to see and do than I remembered. They have several activities and crafts for the kids. More than I posted pictures of. These are just a few.
The kids in front of the ZCMI "America's first department store" wagon. You could go inside ZCMI and buy old fashioned candy and toys. They had several of the toys out on a table they could play with.
This is the playground with several play houses and a teepee. They also had a wooden train with all the cars attached they could play on also that is not in the picture.
Playing poineer games.
Watering the garden..... pioneer style...... with a bucket and a can to dip out of the bucket.
Tooling leather in the saddlery shop.
Cleaning the cabin.... beating the dust from the rugs. When they were finished with this project.... Kristian was grateful for our modern day cleaning methods.
Washing the laundry, rinsing, and then hanging it out to dry.
We visited the hat shoppe. We all had to try on a hat..... but I especially liked this picture I took of Kassie.
Riding the train around the park. (I recommend this first, instead of last.... like we did it. You can get a better perspective of where things are located and what you would like to see and do)
Pony rides were Gage's favorite.
All in all, it was a good day, and we had fun. We were a little late getting home. There was a tanker truck in SLC that over turned on the freeway, and they had to close all but one lane.... all the lanes during rush hour still has back-ups on a good day.... so this was not a great situation. We left the park at 4:30 and got home a little before 8.
We would highly recommend this adventure for your kiddos before school starts.

Oh wow! Looks like so much fun! We are going to have to try hard to get there! That pic of Kassie in the hat is great!!
I remember going there when I was a kid too, but all I remember it being was the statue of Brigham Young. Was there an entrance fee or anything? Fun day, cool pics.
Looks like fun! What a great mom you are!
That is a cool place! We had a great time also. I wish we could have been able to spend more time there.
Looks like you had a great time with your fam!
I can't wait to take my kids there! They will love it. I just wasn't aware that there was so much to do there on a regular day. I thought it was just the statue of BY and they did those fun activities for Pioneer Day.
