ode to the annual pass

We love Thanksgiving Point and use our annual pass all the time including twice in the last four days. Last Friday, the older three kids were invited to Seven Peaks with their aunts so I took Sawyer and Anne to the Dinosaur Museum. Sawyer wasn't all the interested on this excursion. He had just come recently with Dave and it was crowded since it was Pioneer Day. We just walked through at his pace which was rather quick. Because we have a pass, it didn't matter how long we stayed. We went over to the Ice Cream Shop for a cone afterward and then walked around the gardens in that area.



Tonight, for Family Home Evening, Dave suggested that we go to the main gardens for our activity. He had never been there. We arrived after the Monday night activities (though luckily still in time for the popsicles). We just walked down to the first open grassy area and then played.

Hold hands and run so Mom can take a picture (I love that game)


Just thirty minutes of fun before we had to hike back up the hill (and roll down a few times too). We paused to take a pretty picture, eat a few TicTacs and pile in the stroller.

To end the evening we got kid cones at the Ice Cream Shop. Cost: one dollar. Oh yes, we love Thanksgiving Point!

I also like the running-so-mom-can-take-a-picture game. And the one of beautiful mommy and cute Anne. It's fun to get to watch the kids grow.

Hey, you practically just wrote one of those mastercard commercials...priceless!
P.S. Love the then and now pictures. You should never cut bangs again. Neither should Emma!

I hope we have time when we're there in October to go to Thanksgiving Point - I'm sure my kids would love it.

We love Thanksgiving Point too! We haven't gone there enough this summer! And you gotta love the deli and the ice cream shop! We absolutely love the cookie monster sundae. Unfortunately, I feel guilty eating the whole thing, so I have to share it with the kids. haha
