Flowers in bloom

We have a season pass for everything at Thanksgiving Point. It's a nice place for walks and entertaining grand children when they visit.
First we strolled around the large gardens. Here are a few examples of what was blooming:









Then we went to the nearby Dinosaur Museum. We have a really good museum here:






After going through that we went to the Farm area behind the museum:







In the farm area people can put their children on the free pony ride. The other free option is a wagon ride that the adults can go on too. We got on this wagon with a 4 year olds birthday party.
The kids were being very good:

Before leaving for home we explored the art building where we watched a glass blower. By then we were tired and our feet were done with the walking thing.
Our splurge was to drive through 'In N' Out Burger' in Draper. It's been many years since I went to one. That was in California. The food is good. There was a really long line of cars in the drive through. We drove to a park and ate our late lunch.
Be sure to view the post before this one. We went somewhere Friday night too! Believe me, thats a record to have two outings in two days. We rarely eat out and mostly we just work, and then hang out at home.

do you think that the season pass to thanksgiving point is worth the money? I have thought about getting one. We have a season pass to the zoo and love that, it is well worth the money we spent on it.

Look up Thanksgiving Point on Google, there is lots of information.
Joe bought our pass but I think it's the year long pass for $175. It's worth it to us I because we walk in the gardens frequently and it gives us a place to take the grandkids. Guests are 1/2 price with our pass.
