Cory and I try to do something fun and different every weekend with Cayman so she can see everything and not get bored. This weekend my dad came to visit on Saturday and so we went to Heritage Park and did the sights.
I have never been there and Cayman had a lot of fun seeing the animals, riding a pony by herself, petting the sheep, riding the train, riding in a pioneer wagon with all the flies, eating Popcorn, playing in the little kids village and just enjoying being outside. It was pretty nice and we had a little breeze.
I just kept imagining if we had to live that way and I decided I probably would not have been a very good pioneer. I am so blessed with all the modern day amenities we enjoy and how we can get anywhere we want with a car or plane. We can make anything we want for dinner, and if we want a snack we just go get one. We can shop for clothes less than 2 miles away and not have to make our own. We have been blessed to have not one, but 2 very nice houses in our life so far... 13 people had to live in a teeny, tiny, one room cabin as big as one of our bedrooms. It is crazy to me that people back then actually lived without all that we have. I am so thankful for the world I live in and for the gospel and all it means. We are very blessed and even in our toughest times.. we still have it pretty good. I was so excited to have my dad come visit. This weekend was great fun for us and Cayman couldn't get enough of her PAPA!!
It was so fun to see her follow him around all over and play with him. She had a great time and we are excited to go up next weekend to Idaho and visit for a couple days.
I love for Cayman to get to know her grandparents. She really had a lot of fun. Next weekend we will be in Idaho and then in Jackson watching the BAR J Wranglers and eating a feast!! Should be fun. I will post more then. Scroll down a little to see a slideshow!!
