This is the Place Monument

A few weeks ago... Mom came and visited Cody and I at the University Village and we went up the road only 1/2 a mile to the "This is the place" monument. We have a special place in our hearts for this monument because are super awesome great...something relative we believe was the first to see this valley. (note: see video for the full Anderson account). We had a really good time at the pioneer village. Of course mom loved the old fashioned quilts... and I am excited because I learned how to make rag rugs... and Cody was fascinated by the old carpenter shop... I just think it is fun to see how the pioneers survived. I always wonder if we lost all of our modern technology (and grocery stores) if I would be able to survive? Thus, I love learning how the pioneers did everything. Anyway, our trip was cut short because Mom had to get back to IF but it was pretty awesome. SO if anyone wants to go sometime Cody and I live very close ! :)
