This is the Place Heritage Park

On Friday Wendy and I took our kids to This is the Place Heritage Park for their Family Fun Day celebrating Pioneer day coming up on the 24th of July. We had this great plan of getting there right at 9:00 when it opened but it took me longer to get out of my house than we had planned (which is kinda funny because usually it's Wendy that has a hard time getting out of the house on time and she was actually ready this time). We ended up pulling into the parking lot at 9:30 and the sign said that the family fun day didn't start until 10:00. After getting parked and walking over to the pioneer village everything was getting going. They had TONS of stuff set up for it. There were arts and crafts, pioneer games, horse rides, train rides, and lots more.

We started with almost all of the arts and crafts that they had set up:

Then on the short horse ride (just a ride up the lane and back with someone walking alongside the horse):

We went on the train ride around the park, ate Popsicles(extremely needed in the hot heat), and headed for home with some exhausted kids.

It wasn't too crowded and we had fun (except a couple of grumpy people), as we were leaving mobs of people were still getting there and we were so happy that we were on our way out.
