Pioneer Park

On Thursday we decided to take a trip down from Midway to Salt Lake to check out some places that we rarely go. We first went to the LDS Conference Center to check out an art exhibit going on there. We then headed out to lunch at Noodles and Co. We were enjoying our meal until Ella threw up everywhere! I guess there was a bug going around because Eli and Erika couldn't join us on this day because they were throwing up all night. Luckily Ella just through up once! We then headed over to "This is the Place" park and had a blast. I like the look of this! Just put Grace to work on our laundry. If she doesn't start picking up her clothes I've threatened to have her start folding all the laundry. That would be a big help!
Here is Isaiah trying out the stilts. He couldn't quite get going.
Here is Nate unsuccessfully trying to show Isaiah how to use the stilts. In his defense they were kind of small for him.
Here is one of the homes that Ella and Moses had had enough. They just laid on the floor! I think that Ella still didn't feel very good and Moses was very tired!
Here is Moses learning how to brush out wool to get it ready to make into yarn.
I had to post this because it was so sad, and so funny! Miles got a little sliver and you would have thought he broke a bone or something. He was freaking out, making a scene all for a little sliver. He wouldn't let us look at it for the longest and freaked out when we tried to touch it. Finally with a little prodding we used a needle from the yarn house to try to get it out. He seriously was freaking out. I have never seen so much drama over a sliver in my life. I think he might have been a little tired staying up late with his cousins...
Grace had to be the dunce at the Pioneer school because she forgot to turn in her homework. The kids got a kick out of this! The funny thing is that Grace really does forget to turn in her homework frequently!
Here is everyone on a train ride around the park. It was on this train that we learned that Michael Jackson had died. I'll never forget that!
Here are the kids in front of their ancestor's home. John Pack was Nate's great-great-great-great grandfather who was one of the first to come to the valley. His home was the first university and the first dance parlor. We learned a line dance while we were there.
We were too late to ride the ponies, but they let Ella at least pet them. She loves animals! Everyone was so sad, we didn't realize that the park closed at 5:00 and missed the pony rides. All in all it was a very fun day!
