Knowing that we only had 1 good day of weather during our spring break, the kids decided to visit Wheeler Farm and Temple Square last Monday. None of us had ever been to Wheeler Farm and we had no idea what was even there. We started by looking at the small (small is the operative word) museum about pioneer life at the farm.
Megan tried her hand at playing this old, old piano in the museum. We made it through the exhibits in about 10 minutes and then went out to see the animals. That was the real reason Emily wanted to go to the farm.
Tyler isn't as excited about the animals. He mostly just stood back and watched them.
Emily and Megan tried to pet and touch all of them.
Feeding the ducks and geese was the highlight.
Tyler just loved climbing on all the old equipment and cool trees.
We took a wagon ride around the farm. It is actually about 2 miles wide and deep. Who would have guessed that much land was still in downtown Salt Lake.
Emily and Megan were fascinated by the pigs.
It was a fun place to visit. Emily was a little disappointed she couldn't milk the cow. We just didn't want to wait 5 hours to let her do it. I guess we'll have to go back.
After the farm we headed in to downtown to visit the church history museum.
The kid section is always a favorite at this museum. This is Emily pretending to be worn out from holding onto the iron rod. She does love to be dramatic and have an audience.
This bean bag game was a highlight.
All the flowers were out in force around the temple for conference. We had a fun time together as a family and enjoyed having no crowds on our day off.
