Today we went on a little adventure. At the spring merit badge pow wow, one of the merit badges that Ethan was working on was the Citizenship in the Nation. One of the requirements for that merit badge is to visit someplace that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. So we went to explore Emigration Canyon. Emigration Canyon is the canyon that the pioneers came through when they first entered the Salt Lake Valley.
It was so windy, and the little ones were asleep when we got to the look out point, that I decided to sit in the van with them. They didn’t stay asleep though.
Then we headed back down to the mouth of the canyon and checked out the monument that they have there.
Ethan was in a bad mood for whatever reason, and wouldn’t pose in the picture. We then decided to go check out the “This is the Place” park. We got there rather late in the day and it looks like it is similar to Old Salem in North Carolina, so we decided to not pay for admission today and plan another time to come back to be able to spend most of the day there. But we did walk around to check out the statues on the outside of the park.
