We had a great day at This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City. It was a beautiful day and the kids loved learning about their pioneer ancestors, and experiencing life during the early settlements in Utah. It was so fun and educational for our little Midwesterners to learn about life out west. They loved the experience and there was plenty to do that we didn’t even get to see everything. We will will definitely have to come back again soon!

And we finished the day with panning for gold and gemstones in the creek:
