One of Utah's Best Kept Secrets

Labor Day Weekend....


On Monday, we went to This is the Place State Park and we were quite surprised at how fun it was. We have lived in Utah most of our lives and have only seen the monument. We have never been in the actual park, however. What can we say...it is really one of Utah's best kept secrets. We spent the day with our nieces and nephews and enjoyed every minute of it. They have so many things to do that are fun--petting zoo, handcarts the kids can pull, trains, pony rides, different areas where you can learn about Utah's history and so much more.


Here are just a few:

Here we are going to learn about the Indians and the Mountain Men.

Amazing Accomplishment

David and his parents, Glen and Janine, ran the Logan half marathon last Saturday. I am so proud of them. They trained really hard for the race. David ran the half marathon in 2 hours and 10 minutes. His parents came in not long after he did. Congratulations!!!
