This has been an eventful week! First, we had Dennis and Robyn come through on their way to Idaho. It was fun spending time with them on Wednesday and Thursday. We also made a visit to This is the Place Heritage Park and managed to avoid the rain. The monument above will probably look familiar to you. Brigham Young is one of the three men at the top, and that's all I really know....

We had a good time looking around the pioneer village. Here is a man shearing a sheep. We were surprised the sheep was so mellow. We didn't dare ask if it was sedated.

This is one of the old houses that has been relocated to the pioneer village. It used to house a family with 9 kids! Some of the houses were re-creations, but most of them were actually historic.

This is the interior of a fancier home. I don't remember the name of the family that lived in it, but it was moved all of the way from Payson. Brigham Young used to lodge in it when traveling through Payson.

It was "baby animal day" at the park, and this is a not-so-baby goat checking out the stroller.Evelyn liked the animals as long as they didn't get too invasive. She did not appreciate this goaty kiss!
This little black and white lamb was particularly endearing. Too bad that we have already reached the pet limit at our apartment....

I didn't know what to think of the hairy cow. I assume it has eyes under there, but I couldn't find any.

Here we are enjoying a fuzzy bunny. Mom, I am expecting a disparaging comment about the moustache. I like the way the stroller reflectors are "glowing" in this shot.

Even though Evelyn was pretty tired by this point, she worked up a smile for our fluffy friend.

This slide depicts my new career plan. Forget chemistry--I'm going to strike it rich panning for gold!
