Even though we weren't able to be together on Luke's birthday, we did get out and have a family adventure in honor of his birthday the following weekend. We went to This is the Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake. It's a big historical-education site located in the area where the LDS Pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley. It's a small town with period houses and businesses, some dating back to the 1800s and others newly-built, where families can go to learn about and get a feel for what life was like for the early Saints in this area, as well as Native Americans and prospectors farther west. We spent the most time with the chicks and other animals in the farm area, and panning for gold. We also enjoyed the blacksmith, the school, the miniature train ride, and the doughnuts.
