the main reason we planned our vacation when we did was so that we could attend the annual heber c. kimball reunion. heber c. kimball was one of the original twelve apostles in the restored church. kevin's mom is a descendant of heber c. kimball and they put on a great reunion every year at "this is the place" park in salt lake city.
the reunion went from 11-2 but we were able to stay as long as we wanted. we thought that by 2 we would be more than ready to leave. but, we were wrong. we stayed until after 5 and had a great time.

owen chasing the wild geese
during the program portion of the reunion they had a couple dressed as vilate and heber c. kimball. they read some letters the two had shared. it was very interesting to hear. vilate was heber c. kimball's first wife. he later married forty-two more women as he practiced polygamy.
they also had a raffle with lots of prizes for kids and adults. wesley won this bubble maker. he was so pleased!
after lunch and the program we ventured off into the old fashioned town they have in the park. it proved to be well worth our time. the kids LOVED it!
we rode the trolley that gave a quick tour through the town.
the we hopped on the little train that drives you around a pond and provides a great view of salt lake city.
then we panned for gold. we did this for quite awhile. everyone was really enjoying themselves.
and then it was off to the bank to turn in our gold for candy.
