Thanksgiving Point

So a few weeks ago Zac's work threw a Summer party at Thanksgiving Point. We were given passes to visit the Gardens, the Dinosaur Museum, the Children's Garden and the Farm. We spent the whole day there and had such a great time. Harrison loves being outside. At the farm they have this animal called a turken which is a chicken with a bare neck like a turkey... It was as strange as it sounds. Harrison was right down by the turken when he started to crow like a rooster, and it totally freaked him out. Those things are pretty loud! Maybe we will try our luck with loud farm animals when he's a little older. We also got to see baby goats that had been born probably an hour or so earlier. It was so neat! We got to hang out at the Waterfall Ampatheater for awhile. It is so peaceful there. We probably sat on the hill looking at the waterfall for an hour. I can't believe that we have never been to visit there. I definitely recommend it for a day when you have a few hours to walk around and chill out. Here are a few pictures...

The Waterfall Ampatheater. The picture doesn't do it justice... it was so huge!

Harrison and me sitting in the shade at the waterfall.

Cooling off in the pond at the Secret Garden.

Harrison's face pretty much describes his mood after getting hollered at by the turken.

Harrison loves playing with his dad... They had a pretty good time.

After spending all day outside, there was a dinner in a room overlooking the gardens. President Monson was there for the dinner which was really neat. During the blessing on the food, Harrison started yelling. Not crying, just yelling to be heard. Of all the times to yell during the prayer, I don't think that was the best. That boy always finds some way to leave his mark...
