Is This the Place? Yes, This is the Place.

We have gone to "This is the Place" state park twice in the last week. This picture is of the second trip with my Sister in law, Mary and her kiddies, Mary's mom and brother, and Lori and her kiddies.
The first trip was for a sort of special home school day where we got a super good deal to get it. We had so much fun we were more than happy to go again a few days later.






These two were THRILLED to be together again. Cousin Eliza lives too far away, so they don't get to play as much as they would like.














My favorite building was the old fashioned one room school house. I think I tend to romanticize pioneer times. I found myself longing to live in one of the cute pioneer homes. Not a log cabin (I'm not cuckoo) but just a really sturdy, wooden floored, multi-room pioneer home. Ah, simpler times.
Here are Elinor and her best gal pal, Gentri playing school. You can't listen to a funnier conversation than these two regularly have.




"This is the Place" has a great train that can take you all around the park. It is mostly all walkable as well, but the train does speed things up and it is fun to enjoy the "pioneer air conditioning".




























Cannon's first pony ride. He loved it and was grinning and screaming with delight.













There was old-fashioned music playing on hidden speakers on main street and it made Abe feel like dancing a jig. He had his girls join him and I LOVED IT!
Abe went into work really early so he could join us in the afternoon and we were so glad he did. He more fun than anyone.

If you come to Utah I do highly recommend this park. It is fun for big people and little people alike. Just bring good walking shoes.
