second stop: cedar city's pioneer museum

We stayed about 2 hours, which was probably an hour too long for the kids, but there was at least some hands-on stuff they could do.  It was a pretty cool museum with potential for lots more hands-on stuff (building a log cabin, churning butter, sheep-shearing demonstration, etc).  And on a side note, this was my first time in Cedar-what an adorable little city!

The kids area had lots of little things to do, coloring, building with lincoln logs, puzzles, etc.

I thought this display of all the different brands was so cool.

I'm quite jealous of the garden!

It was a great site, but pretty big and since it was around 105 outside, we didn't do the outdoor stuff much.  I sure would make a lousy pioneer!

I love going to places like this!

So cool and I love the photos of the Book of Mormon, the brands-awesome and the loom. That loom picture brings back awesome memories of my great-grandpa.

I sooo would have made a lincoln log cabin too ;) hehee

ps: Love your cheese paparazzi!

pss: The chess table is so cool! The guys have been wanting a huge checker set like the ones at Cracker Barrell.. but if I could do up something like this, they'd have storage in the drawer for the checkers and Id have an end table for the room as well. Cool cool!

THat looks like a really fun place! We haven't spent a lot of time in Cedar either, but it seems like a great little town.

You are in Cedar City? You need to drive 3 hours north to see us now! I'm glad you had fun. If you are impressed with that garden you should see mine and others around here. They are huge!
