Barnyard Boo

After a snowy last weekend, it warmed up into the 70's for a great day yesterday. We headed to Salt Lake and hit the last farmer's market of the season. We then headed over to watch U of U in their huge football stadium which lasted all of 1.5 quarters until Ty melted down for nap time. Luckily there was plenty of time to nap while we drove south of Salt Lake to Thanksgiving Point and the Barnyard Boo. Thanksgiving Point is a huge complex with everything from an Imax theater to, you guessed it, a barnyard! They had tons of farm animals and plenty of activities. Ty was in heaven watching all the animals, and they all come right up to you begging for food. He even got his fingers nibbled by a goat kid! It was a great day and we were all sad it had to come to an end!

Sheep!




Feeding the goat kid.


Amazed at all the animals


A llama!


Who was very friendly


A big Percheron,


and possibly Ty's favorite (mostly for their noses pushed through the fence), pigs!


Bucky and Ty stood in line for 45 minutes for this very fun balloon sword!


Loving the sword


The last picture of the sword before...


he fell on it not five minutes after they got it! Oh well, it was worth it and Ty still had some fun with the deflated balloon!


I had been standing in line for the pony rides! Mounting the pony and yes doing something I never would have dreamed doing...letting my son ride a horse without a helmet.


Concentrating very, very hard but LOVING it.


Intensity!!
