This is the Place

On July 15th we took the cub scouts to This is the PLace, it was really fun there. Besides that Jake woke up at 4am throwing up that morning and I had to go without him. I always knew this place was across the street from the Hogle Zoo but had never been before. What a neat place and it really taught me and the kids about the pioneer times and how they lived back then. This is me washing the clothes and hanging them out to dry. I hate laundry now i could not imagine washing my childrens clothes like that, including there dirty diapers. They have a petting corral there that you can pet the bunnies, lambs and goats. They have ponnies you can ride but they just go in a little circle and our 8 years old boys thought that was not to cool. I had to hold this bunny for Madi because she still wants one.

The workers there all dressed up in the old clothes and they would talk about things that used to happen like they were actually taking place still. I thought it would be so fun to work there and be able to take my kids to work with me. These little girls were loving it there and they were just playing house in this kitchen and pretending to make me food.
One of the other chores you used to have to do besides laundry was hit your rugs real hard with a stick to get all the dirt out so the boys each took a turn doing this.





This was the little school house they have there, the boys each learned how to write there name with the different signs they used to use to make sounds. The school teacher told our boys that our school fee was due and we owed her one dollar and if we couldn't afford that then we could bring her some fruits and veggies are also allow her to come stay free in our homes.
It was such a cool place that I will definetly be going back to take Jake this time and also Madi. I think my kids will enjoy it.
