This is the Place Heritage Park–Salt Lake City

After our Park City week was over we checked out of the Cabin, dropped off the Ryan and Katie at BYU Provo for EFY and  moved in with Scott and Elisha.  On Tuesday we headed up to Heritage Park with Grandma and Grandpa Walton and Elisha and kids.  Such a fun place!

The kids absolutely loved this little town and ran through each of the houses and picking which one was theirs.  A great place to play with their cousins.

 

The kids were excited to ride the horses as well…

We toured a lot of the buildings and authentically dressed pioneers showed us around and explained what they used each building for.  Here we are watching the blacksmiths at work.

The Andrus Halfway House was ‘halfway between Traveler’s Rest near 6400 South in Salt Lake City and Porter Rockwell’s rest stop about twelve miles south. Likely we had ancestors stay here.

We ate a picnic lunch and then headed to take the train to another stop.

Love this one with Grandpa and the grandkids…

We took the train up to Main Street and Grandpa got us ice cream cones at the Huntsman Hotel.

Then a mini train ride, panning for gold and playing on the big ship ended our day.

Walton Park City Trip–Sunday Night Walk

It was a gorgeous night.  Amy and Chris had left early Sunday morning.  Dan and Sarah left after breakfast.  Scott and Elisha left after church and Brian took Chris to the airport on his way back to BYU Idaho after dinner… so it was just my kids and I, Grandma and Grandpa and Mike and Carly left – and Molly since she stayed for a cousin sleepover.  We walked on the dirt road up to a pond and spotted our first moose.  Pretty exciting.  It was a great week – we were lucky to have gotten this cabin nestled up in the hills.  It was just perfect.

Walton Park City Trip–The Fourth of July

Cute little dudes… Nate, Luke, Foster, Matt and James in their flag shirts ready for the day.

We headed into Park City for the parade just in time to see it coming down the street. 

After the parade we headed to a local Splash Pad for the kids to run through the water with their cousins… and Scott.

Back at the cabin we enjoyed the afternoon playing games, hanging out, taking pictures and enjoying a big Fourth of July BBQ.

Cute girlies… Molly, Megan and Annie

Katie and Baby Owen

Love this picture…

That night we headed back into town and met up with the Jacksons to watch the fireworks at the park, play Frisbee and do nighttime bubbles.   It was a fun fourth.
