This is the Place

A few weeks ago I took the day off and we all went to This is the Place Monument.  Here is one of Brigham Young’s homes and a view of the grass field, apple orchard and the Wasatch mountains.

We enjoyed the printing press demonstration.

Ian was talking in the class room and had to be reprimanded.  Nose to the wall and holding books behind him.  At least he didn’t have to wear the dunce cap like the other boy in class.

Miles learned how to card wool in preparation for it to be spun into thread

Ian scrubbed clothes on a washboard and then hung them out to dry.  The weather wasn’t too hot, but we were all ready for a break.

We were hungry so we headed to the Chilean Deli.  We had baked empanadas, fried cheese empanadas, a lomo palta sandwich (pork and avocado) and alfajores (pastries with dulce de leche).  ¡Qué rico!  Very delicious!
