First we went to the Farm. We have annual passes to this part of Thanksgiving Point (it's cheap and the kids get a pony ride or a wagon ride each time, included) but it was Baby Animal Day, so a lot more was going on.
Baby animals penned around the grassy area... This has got to be the cleanest cow I've ever seen.... and Violet's still not too sure about her!
Games with little prizes
Including throwing balls at milk jugs. Cora didn't come close, but did hit a ball on the milk jug stand, thus dropping a few jugs.
Violet didn't see the point of aiming for the milk jugs and purposely threw all her balls into the gravel area.
Riding the cows train... good prep for Grandpa Ellis' train in July! I asked Violet afterward how it was, and all she could say was "bumpy! very bumpy!"
We also got to do the wagon ride (the pony ride line was way too long!). It was a nice change.
This was how Luke spent most of his day. He was a good sport. We just need to get him a sun hat!
Next we headed to the Dinosaur Museum. The girls love the sand and water area and the big sandbox where they discover dinosaur bones.
Lastly we dragged ourselves over to the gardens. I had been really wanting to see the tulips there this year (I haven't been before) but hadn't been able to talk myself into ponying up the $10 per person for it. This was a much better deal! The girls had fun (trying to) pencil roll down the big hill, the bloom-o-meter was at 65% so we saw a lot of tulips, and it was fun to explore a bit. I was impressed with how huge it is, the girls especially loved the waterfall amphitheater. I think it would be fun to go in the summer again and see everything a bit more blooming and green. And check out the Children's Garden, we missed that.

That was nice you could use the free tickets your mom won from the marathon. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun at Thanksgiving Point. It seems like there's always fun things going on there. I've only been there once for a dental convention.
So fun! How nice to get some free passes! I love tulips- they are all supposed to be out here soon, too. And I LOVE your new family picture at the top!
So do you think it would be worth the $10 admission to see the tulips? It looks like a fun day.
How awesome that you got the free tickets. It looks like you had a blast :).
Wow, I've gotten behind on checking blogs. You've definitely got some great pictures. I absolutely love that pic of Luke's chubby cheeks! I just want to kiss 'em! That's good that you've been able to enjoy the spring flowers. We'll have to go to temple square one of these days.
I have never been to the barn, it looks like fun.
