This is the place

We went to this is the place with most of the family. The kids had a fun time, even if we had to make them. They made homemade candles, arrow head necklaces, panned for gold, climbed aboard a ship,get a shave, played in the new play ground houses, road horses, pet animals, and got stung by wasps. Brittin's favorite time was with the horses. There was a family infront of us in line and the lady was wearing flip flops, not a big deal but when she went to go get her kid off the horse, she stepped right in the horses puddle of pee and the whole herd of us went oh gross and groaned. Brittin hasn't stopped talking about that. Logan liked the panning for gold, even though he couldn't figure it out at first how he was going to get in the river with out getting wet. Kolbryn liked getting shaved by the barber. The barber also put leaches on you to drain your blood, he didn't want to do that. Levi got after shave put on him and it stung his eyes. Hopefully that will make him not want to shave for a while. Brecken liked being by the animals and petting them, what he didn't like was the smell they gave off. We had to leave this place too because it started to rain and brittin had soccer practice. What is the deal with this weather? Kolbryn again enjoyed Kenna, being her personal stroller. I hope she remembers the good things they did together. Logan enjoyed making candles with levi and the others made bags to hold their things in. Here is the other crazy thing, so if you look in the pictures you can see some kids holding a bundle of flowers, well the driver of the train that took us around said if you have that bees would stay away from you. Well all the kids ran to get it, but let me tell you my kids wont even hold their sucker sticks once the candy has been inhaled off of them, but boy could they hold on to that great big bundle of weeds for the whole day and ask every minute where is that, do you have it, can you hold this for me for a while. Now I have proof their hands don't break from holding onto something that is theirs and they want.

Stung by wasps? There's got to be more of a story there... And I love the way that after a long, fun day, the kids think the best part was the lady stepping in horse pee.
