After we decorated graves last saturday we went as a family to This is the Place State Monument near Emigration Canyon in Salt Lake City, Utah. It's a fun Heritage Park of 27 different restored pioneer buildings staffed by costumed volunteers explaining life in pioneer times. The grandkids really enjoyed this and at the same time were learning of our family history including the early settlers of Utah and the Native Americans. The kids got to pet baby farm animals, ride a train and a pony, and see lots of demonstrations of life in earlier times.
