$2.00 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point

Heather and I decided to go play at Thanksgiving Point on Tuesday. It was so much fun! I can't believe how much Ellie really enjoyed it. We walked the gardens for nearly four hours and Ellie not even once, acted up. She just loves being active AND outside! We kept telling her that we were going to find some water to play in. (Because Thanksgiving Point has a children's garden that features "Noah's Ark." It has a place for the kids to play in the fountains). So after 3 and a half hours of getting her excited about that we found ourselves at Noah's Ark and people saying that they shut down the water things because it was unclean. My heart broke for Ellie who was in the process of removing her shoes and striping down to her swimming suit. I had to tell her that the water wasn't clean and that we'd have to go swimming in the pool at home. To my surprise she got up and said "k." And that was that! What a sweetheart! Luckily, we did find some fountains that still had a little water shooting out of them and Ellie and Shaylie were content in wading through them. We plan on going again next week for the pony rides! Ellie's really excited about that!
