I used to ride with my dad in the potato truck and we would listen to Paul Harvey 's "The Rest of the Story." I miss those long summer days, my dad, and Paul Harvey; but now you may hear the rest of OUR story! ..."Good Day"

4TH OF JULY 2008 - This is the RIGHT place!

Today was a 13 (out of 1-10) in the Preas Book of Holidays. Everything that could go right, did. We had a blast! We went to breakfast this morning, then on to This is the Place State Park. Here is a photo diary of today's highlights...

Abby at breakfast. Look at that smile...
On our way to the park, we were behind a car from Hawaii... He must have taken the "freeway tunnel"! One of MY favorite places, must be a good omen...
We loved this "Train" (it had wheels instead of running on a track) so much, that we rode it twice!
This is what I am most proud of today! Abby rode this horse without ANY help. It was the largest of the three ponies giving rides. Even when the horse picked up his pace to keep up with the others, Abby held her ground! ...She also rode him twice. Mike and Abby in the petting zoo. Abby listening to the directions of a game to be played Abby and a "pioneer" outside Mary Fielding Smith's homeAbby riding on the "Children's Train" with a conductorAbby at the caboose!
We did several other activities at the park, but there are just too many to post! Then on to dinner and a fireworks show. Mike and I hadn't seen a professional show since Lee lived in Aggie Village while going to school at Utah State more than 10 years ago. I had forgotten how fun they were! This day will surely go down next to those great memories years ago!
