This is the Place Monument

Yesterday my sister and I took our kids to This is the Place Monument in Salt Lake. Benton has been out of town since Sunday morning and won't return till Friday night, so we needed to get out of our house. The time seems to pass faster when we have plans and are out and about doing something.

Cambree still has no fear with holding animals. She kept holding the baby chicks like parrots. Instead of holding it in her hands and once the chick was settled down, she would place it on her shoulder or arm. I was surprised how long the chicks would actually sit on her, instead of jump off. Addie wouldn't hold them but she didn't mind giving them a little hug.

Both girls loved the pony rides. I actually think Addie liked it more. She had a smile the whole entire time. One of the times I let Cambree go first and Addie threw a fit and started balling her eyes out because she wanted a turn. I guess that's how our future will be, fighting over who gets to go first. I didn't think it would start this early with Addie, I guess she wants to be just like her big sister.

They loved petting all the animals, riding on the trains and playing in the different houses. And I thought this little piggy was adorable. I usually don't like looking at the pigs, but this one was too cute.

Only 2 more days till Benton returns!
