With Cass spending so much time in the hospital and Alden at grandma and grandpa's it was nice to spend the afternoon with my little guy. When Alden came up to visit his dad we went to the near by This is the Place Monument. It is baby animal season and I though Alden would have fun getting to pet the baby animals. And I was right. It was a little on the chilly side and it is a Monday so the park was pretty dead which was nice for us. We also discovered there are a lot of things to do here and that by next summer Alden will be old enough to enjoy them all. Thanks for letting us ditch you for a couple of hours Cass.

| His first look at the animals. There are some giant cows just outside of the picture. He was really excited in case you can't tell. |

| Standing on the stool to get a better look at the baby ducks. He was a little unsure of the baby chicks though |
 |
| He loved milking this fake cow while waiting for the pony ride. |
One spoiled kid. He already got his first pony ride. I haven't even had one of those yet.

| Petting the baby sheep |

| And he loved the baby goats. |

After petting the animals we made it up to the leather shop to stamp our own leather piece and then went shopping. At the old store they had this kitchen and grocery store area set up. Alden loved taking his cucumber out of the shopping cart and putting it in different places in the kitchen. He was kind of sad when we made him leave.
After lunch we did a train ride, which he loved even though he look like it in this picture. We passed several fun activities like panning for gold and the miniature train ride that we will have to do next time. Then we made two more crafts (one for him and one for dad) before heading back to the hospital to visit with dad. If you are ever in Utah and have a free afternoon I highly recommend this park. It is great for kids!
