So we went and visited This is the Place during the 50 degree rainy morning, even though it was supposed to be 75 degrees out. We didn't bring jackets and we put on sunscreen before we left, but at least I did bring our one, semi-broken umbrella. Matthew still had lots of fun though, and we got 1/2 off tickets because of the rain and the pony rides being closed.
It still was lots of fun, although cold until just before we left. Here are a bunch of pictures of our adventures. Matthew loved riding the 'train' even though it was so cold and breezy. The train was better than petting the animals too, and we rode it 3 times around the park. They didn't keep track of your activities/crafts (normally you only do 3) because there were only about 100 people in the park which was a nice added bonus for us because Matthew doesn't ever want to stop riding trains!
Doing "puzzles" in the quilt museum. He really liked the log cabin square...
Petting baby fledgling ducks.
Petting baby chickens
Milking the 'cow'
Baby ducks - he couldn't quite reach them and he kept saying "Oh, come on." because he was frustrated they would run away from his hands.
Freshly laid egg.
Going into the goat pen.
Lots and lots of feeding goats hay.
Super happy about having goat friends.
Ryan had lots of goat friends too.. they kept trying to eat his clothes and my shoe laces.
Trying to give me some hay to feed the goats too.
Holding baby chickens. He held one all by himself the third time we went back, but I didn't get a picture before he dropped it back in the bucket. Good thing he's not tall and they have mini-wings...
Dancing the Native American Friendship Dance.
He thought it was great and loved the 'praire chicken' and 'butterfly' dances that they performed.
Riding the train.. he didn't want pictures obviously.
"Oh, come on." He kept running around to the other side of the bucket trying to catch one.
Little kid play village. He liked opening and closing all the windows and doors.
"I found you!" Ryan and I were sitting in a playhouse discussing where to eat lunch.
The Friendship Dance.. sorry it's from the back, but there wasn't a good view from anywhere and was crowded.
