Ancestry Summer Party

Last Saturday was the annual Ancestry summer party.  Usually they have it at Seven Peaks, but they chose to do something different this year and have it at Thanksgiving Point.  Throughout the day, the different venues were open to us and then they had a big gathering later that evening with food, fun, and games.  We decided to hop back and forth throughout the day so that Leila could still get in her naps in her crib.

To begin, we started by exploring the Farm Country and Leila LOVED it!  She loved seeing all of the animals, especially the baby goats.  She would get all excited, point, and then sit in front of the fence and just watch them.  She would even pick up bits of straw and feed it to them through the fence.

Hanging onto the fence for dear life.  She didn't want to leave! 

Baby goats are ADORABLE!

Locked up for making trouble :p

Then we made our way to the Museum of Ancient Life.  Leila had a little bit more trouble being fascinated by the old dinosaur bones, but they had a little exhibit called Thinkering and she thoroughly enjoyed running around and playing with everything they had in there.

She'd put bits of paper in the tube and they would fly up and she would laugh SO hard!

Later, we went to Electric Park--where they had set up an inflatable slide and games, calf roping (machinated), a couple of kiddie trains, and face painting.  They also had volleyball courts and a soccer field.  It was pretty sweet!  Unfortunately, Leila was getting cranky and feeling sick (runny nose) so we only stayed for dinner and one quick ride on one of the trains.  It was enough for my little one though, so we were all happy.
