I'll admit, I wasn't quite ready to embrace the Christmas Spirit but after visiting the new Pop-Up Picture This Christmas at Trolley Square today, I'm ready to embrace it ALL! The kids loved all the activities and I loved all the Christmas music! Each area was a fun, different Christmas theme. We've shown a few pop-ups on The Salt Project, and while Picture This Christmas is a much smaller scale, it's filled with super interactive fun. Of course, everyone LOVED the ball pit! The kids all took turns writing their Christmas Wishes on the wall, with a permanent marker (which

A few weeks ago we did a bike meet-up at Knudsen Park in Holladay and man, it is a BEAUTIFUL park! We got to Knudsen Park just a few minutes early and my kids LOVED it. Not only is the play pieces cool, but the landscape is something else. I can't remember being in such a pretty park. As soon as we arrived at Knudsen Park the kids were off exploring! Swings, slides, things to climb on, this park has everything. Super random but these bathrooms are NICE. I've been to lots of gross park bathrooms so this was a

****UPDATE****We regret to announce that as of June 27th, 2019 our Ricochet Canyon wild west themed family entertainment center is closed to the public for a yet undetermined period of time. For years, I've seen snippets of a cute train shop somewhere in Utah. We finally found it and finally went...in DECEMBER! Man. I've had these photos sitting on my desktop forever! I've just barely seen them again and I've decided it's time! My grandma used to own a train shop in Iowa, so I have some fond memories of trains. I've chased quite a few trains in my life

Love Letters grand opening is Saturday, June 22nd at the Gateway in Salt Lake City. We got to take a little sneak peek and I can honestly say, they thought of everything. I mean EVERYTHING. The museum itself is beautiful and magical and whimsical, but there are so many layers to this experience. More than just sight and touch, although everything you see and touch is beautiful and inspiring, this experience will touch you on a deeper level. You will experience crazy fun (so go with friends or family), but you will also have the opportunity to do a little

Baby Animal Season is finally here! We visited Cross E Ranch in Salt Lake City yesterday and we almost died of cuteness! We've been to Cross E Ranch since their first year opening and we ALWAYS love coming back. Be sure to use "Salt15" for 15% off any ticket type! Online and at the door! There's something about tiny kids holding tiny baby animals right? Cross E Ranch just keeps making more and more updates, we've loved seeing how everything has changed over the years. Cross E Ranch is one of the OLDEST Brands in Utah! I was kind of

There is a new exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Utah and you know what that means! Field trip time! I was shocked to look back and see that the last time my family had visited was 3 year ago! Why do the kids have to grow so fast? The bad news is that we were WAY over due for a visit since this is one of my kids favorite museums in SLC. The good news, some of their favorite parts of the museum back then are still their favorite parts today. The new Maya Exhibit was incredible and

Kyra is back with some more details on Discovery Gateway! We’re big fans of Discovery Gateway. We’ve had a pass for a few years now and my kids never seem to tire of it. I love that it’s located at The Gateway in downtown SLC with covered parking that leads right to the entrance of the museum. It makes for a perfect visit no matter the weather. The museum is 60,000 square feet of hands-on fun. On the first floor, they have the “Garden” area which has been recently improved with a new ‘Honey Climber’ which allows kids to climb

Kyra's here to tell us about another great indoor play area! Read on! I’m always on the lookout for indoor play areas for my kiddos. They’re perfect for hot summer days or cold winter days and basically any other day that we’re needing to get out of the house and burn off some energy. It’s even better if I can find an indoor play area that is totally free in cost which is why we love the new play area at The Shops at South Town in Sandy! The play area is on the second level near the food court

Kyra us here today telling us all about the West Valley Family Fitness Center! My boys and I visited the West Valley Family Fitness Center for the first time in December a few years ago while we were getting photos with Santa done in one of the upstairs general-purpose rooms. This facility offers so many great features a lap pool, a leisure pool, basketball and racquetball courts, an indoor track, cardio equipment, a weight room, a climbing wall, dance, and aerobic rooms, but our very favorite feature is the indoor play area for children. On our first visit, my oldest
