I asked my children this morning if they'd be up for a day at This Is The Place Heritage Park.
A bit of play before an afternoon party to which we'd been invited.
They gave an enthusiastic "Sure!", to my surprise.

I wasn't expecting much, I have to say.

Here's when I gush, and say, "Don't you just love it when you're pleasantly surprised?"
We loved it.  Loved it!
We had a good time not too long ago at the American West Heritage Center, you may remember, but this was even better, I think!

The National Pony Express Monument

Our time was cut short by our afternoon plans, so we actually left wanting lots more (always good) - there was so much more to see.  We have plans to return very, very soon with friends and family.

Off to the party!
A Bomb party!!

 

Where there was dress-up, singin' and dancin', game playin', edible bombs, poprocks, pizza, and friends.  Really, really great friends.

We're home for some snuggling in on a cold summer's night...
with wii
a movie
a book
and Love.
Love love love.

That will quite do.
