So, we're in Park City, Utah with my family right now, enjoying the cool weather up in the mountains. My sister is at BYU right now doing the SOAR program. The weather is so nice in Utah, I love the summers in Utah. We have been enjoying the weather and taking advantage of the pool and jacuzzi. It's been nice visiting the old sites and seeing how much things have changed in the last year and a half since I've been back.
We had the opportunity to go to This is the Place Heritage Park. This is the place where Brigham Young pointed and chose Salt Lake to be the place that they were going to settle. Of all the years that I have lived in Utah, I have never heard of this place, so it was fun to visit. It was a really cool place and reminded me of Colonial Williamsburg, VA because they have little villages set up in the 1800s, but the only difference is that there's Mormon history associated with the village. It's a good place to take your kids and Emi had so much fun.
In front of the Pioneer Family Statue. I wish they had this in a smaller version, so that I could buy it.
In front of the This is the Place Monument.
Grandpa and Emi riding on the train at Heritage Park.
My Mom churning butter at Brigham Young's Farmhouse. She would not survive one day living the pioneer life. The bread and butter that they gave us to eat was really good though.
Me pulling this heavy handcart. Notice that I have nothing in it and I'm already struggling.
Emi in the covered wagon ride and then at the petting barn.
Finally, us swimming in Park City.

Jeez Lady- You go and go! It must be fun to be with your family and for them to share Emi in her fun age...I couldn't do it though...I'd miss my bed, bathtub and hunny too much! Call us when you get back!
I think your the first person I've ever heard say they love Utah summers!! It is SO stinking hot!! (but I suppose compared to AZ it rocks..) Oh, and I don't think the pioneers ever pulled handcarts ALONE!! So it's okay that it wore you out fast!
I want to jump on that picture with the pool! So hot in here! Love the photos. I like the pic of Emi-Chan and your dad, very cute! Have fun there!
I wish I were there. This is the time of year I really start missing Utah. We like to go to This is the Place Park also. Gotta love SOAR! I had to teach a workshop at SOAR one summer--many, many years ago.
hope you get this while you're still in utah. I don't have your phone # so I couldn't call you...but you better call me if you have time so we can have you guys over for dinner or something!!!! 801)331-8719 call now! yes...now!!!!
