This has been on our "to do" list for years- and we finally got around to it! I had a gift certificate, so we got a family membership- we'll see how many times we can go before we move!
I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, or how much the kids would like it, but we were pleasantly surprised- this is a place that we can easily stay for 3-4 hours before we have to drag the kids out. The zoo only lasts our family about 2 hours, so that's impressive!
Here we are on the train tour:

Here we are on the train tour:
Playing pioneer games:
Pony rides. The age limit for these is 12. Josh did it, Price didn't- not cool, I guess.
The petting farm:
Panning for gold. When the kids found a "gold" nugget, they could take it to the bank to exchange for a piece of candy.
Getting a shave. This guy was completely hilarious. He put shaving cream all over Price's face- especially in his mouth. He had multiple jokes about blood and the "one-ear" society. It was very fun for us, and I think for Price, although he was a little worried sometimes.
Josh got the same treatment, but then the barber told him he was looking a little sick, and offered to let blood for him. Luckily, he got distracted and Josh made his escape!
The schoolhouse. At the end, the teacher told everyone that school started at 9 a.m., and we had all been late... that we should be sure to be there on time the next day. Annie took this very seriously, and asked me for several days after if we could go there at 9:00!
We could have stayed longer, but we were starving! Lunch was here- yum!
