Wheeler Farm

Today we went to Wheeler Farm in Salt Lake.  The weather was perfect and everything was FREE!  We ate a picnic lunch and then went and saw a ton of farm animals.  We saw:

GEESE

and more GEESE!

And COWS!

And GOATS!

And CHICKENS...and hens...and turkeys...and roosters...etc.

And we played in the hay.

(and shared some binkies)

And looked at some barns.

And took lots of pictures.

And played with all the kids.

And even gave some first kisses.

June was trying to steal Fred's binkie the whole time.  Here's some photos to prove it.  

(Click to see all of them, my favorite is the last one.  BTW not all of the shots are of just those two - most are group shots.)

Ogden Nature Center

Since blogger is lame this video of Fred speaking Turkey will have to be posted separately.

Nature Center (take II)

We visited the Ogden Nature center again. Since I've already posted the information about this place I decided to just post pictures of the kids for this post. But, if your curious about the Nature Center you can read my original blog post about it   HERE.

We originally went to meet Pueo the Owl but it was way to hot in the room .  

So we ventured out on the trails. Where we were eaten alive by Misquotes. BRING REPELLENT IF YOU GO!

We let the kids wreck the Gift shop. Ooops! :) 

The Mommies! 

Except Crystal. :( How did I miss you!

Devin was so nice and shared his yummy Gold fish with all the kids. 

Today I learned Freddie speaks Turkish. :) 

Castle Park

This is a park in Fruit Heights that is designed to look like a castle. It's a lot of fun and the kids loved it. Here is a few pics if your interested in going there.

Directions are

From I-15 exit to highway 89 just north of Farmington.

Turn left on Nicholls road. You can't miss it.

The address is 1200 E Nicholls road.

Day Farms (A pumpkin Patch)

Looking for an affordable fun pumpkin patch to take the kids to?

Day Farms is located at 2500W Gentile street Layton, UT

The hayrides are Mon & Fridays 4-7pm and Saturdays 1-7pm

Their phone # is 546-4316

Which gets you a hayride to the pumpkin patch...

Where you get to pick any pumpkin you want.

Some are to big to carry

And they even have a place for taking pictures. Awww sooo cute!

We took up a level and had all the kids wear their Halloween costumes. It made for some very cute photos. :)

I definitely recommend this activity! The kids LOVE it and the mommies do to. (:

Elephant Walk @ the Gateway

Every year when the circus comes to town Gateway does an Elephant parade down Rio Grande street. The first year I went it was amazing, the parade was long, but not to long and you got to watch them give the elephants a bath after the parade was over.

The las couple of years I've gone the parade lasts 5 minutes and then the circus goes back inside and it's over just like that. So I don't know if this event is worth fighting the crowd for. The kids sure had a good time tho and received a funny clown nose for coming out.

If this event sounds fun to you and you want to attend it next year visit the Gateway's website to read dates and times. Click here
