Today we went to the Provo Veteran's Pool. That and the Scera Pool in Orem represent the fun-ness that it Utah. Santa Barbara of course doesn't need a water park because it is one big water park, but on hot days it is nice to have these places to relax.
Along those same lines we went to Thanksgiving Point's Children's Discovery Garden yesterday. How Utah is this: Noah's Ark in the entrance. It is like a big water fountain with the ark as the center piece and the animals in bronze throughout the park. It was a pretty fun place but I wondered why Utah Valley is so like this. Newly opened in Lehi: Liberty Land. We didn't see any people there but they do have the Founding Fathers/Mt. Rushmore thingy. In spite of Charter schools popping up all over the place in Utah with the patriotic themes, it has not caught on yet. Maybe in time..
Another fun place to visit - BYU
ReplyDeleteThis is EXACTLY what happened to us (I have 3 witnesses prepared to verify...)
We were walking through campus & my mother-in-law said that the law school was pretty. I said, "That reminds me of Steve Fleming. Wouldn't it be fun if we saw Steve Fleming?"
Literally, the SECOND I finished saying his name, I turned around and there he was.
I wanted to go straight out and buy a lottery ticket but, dangit, we were in Utah.
