Christmas at Heritage Park

Monday afternoon we drove to the WVC to deliver Christmas packages to the Hastings before they depart for Hawaii. We had supper at Paradise Bakery where we met Rob and then continued up to This is the Place Heritage Park to enjoy the "Candlelight Christmas." It snowed Monday and the park is high enough that there was lots of fresh snow. The place is always fun, but is particularly delightful on a winter evening at Christmas. We saw a puppet show, danced a reel, made sachets, visited the nativity in the barn, and all kinds of fun stuff. We took the train down to the Brigham Young house where the kids got to visit with Father Christmas. The driver of the train turned out to be Ranleigh Johnson, a missionary friend from years ago. It was a very fun evening.

Clara was dressed and ready and wanted to go outside

It was so beautiful. The snow was lovely and I am so glad we actually went. I think about it every year. Kudos to us. It was a very Christmasy adventure.
