This is the Place Heritage Park

We had such a great time spending the day at This Is The Place Heritage Park with the Cropper cousins...Although i'm not sure anyone thought we'd be there from 10 a.m. till 3 p.m. and still not see everything the park had to offer.  It is always so much fun spending time with family!

Here are all of the cousins (except McKaleigh - she had to work) at the beginning of the day, full of smiles, fresh and ready for the adventure!

 A quick shot of mom and dad...We still like each other!

 Colton needed to stop off at the barber shop for a quick shave.  They lathered him up and then put a pioneer aftershave on when he was done.  It was pretty fun!

 OF COURSE we had to ride the train!  I think it was a bit slow, but still, a train ride is a train ride. 

 Mining for gold was BY FAR the best activity of the day.  The kids wanted to go back at the end of the day to do it again.  After they mined the stream and found tons of gold, we marched down to the bank.  The banker took it, weighed it, and gave the kids a "check" for what it was worth.  They thought that was really cool!

 Mom and dad waiting around while the mining took place!

 The kids also got to play pioneer games.  Here's Colton trying out the sticks, while Aunt Heather and Tyler check out his skills!

Another adventure under our belts.  We love making memories!
