American Heritage Center/Wellsville UT

American Heritage Center/Wellsville UT 2012

We LOVE the American Heritage Center in Wellsville, UT.  We go every year.  The kids ride horses and ponies, mine for gold, through hatchets, learn how to make bullets, play pioneer games, live like a pioneer, ride a train, feed animals, etc...  Harrison was so fun.  He got so excited over everything.  It took him 5 minutes to say 'goodbye' to everything...the train, animals, water.  

I saw a snake AGAIN.  Every year I am the lucky one who encounters one.  Of course, I screamed liked a lunatic:)  

On the way home from Wellsville we went the back way to Ogden.  We saw signs for Hardware Ranch and thought it sounded fun.  We drove and drove and found it to be closed for the season.  Oh well.  It was a beautiful drive.  We saw a ton of sheep, pheasants, skunk, horses, cows, beaver dams and lots of beautiful back country.
