Mattina Ann stayed with us for 13 days, from July 9th to 21st. I picked her up at the Idaho border and we went to Golden Spike Historical site. We stopped by where the rockets are made for the space shuttles and on to Golden Spike. We got to see the trains move and learned what each horn toot means.
Friday we went to the Heritage Park because it was free. We got lots of popscicles and walked through lots of homes and learned about the pioneers. Brigham Young married so many women because at that time women could not own anything and they would lose their home and children. Their marriage made it possible for them to keep going and care for themselves. He only had a few wives that he had children with. Mattina Ann's cousin, Ally, went with us.
We went to a horse parade, raging waters, and the library where we learned about some large birds of prey and where Mattina Ann made a duct tape wallet. We went to Thanksgiving Point and saw animals there and enjoyed some games. Also, concert in the parks and Jazz concerts were part of our entertainment.
She really likes looking at things, so we went to the church museum, art museum in the conference center, the top of the church office building and the state capitol.
Mattina Ann painted some shirts with fun designs for each of her brothers and herself. She also painted the letter "M" for her room.
We made cake doughnuts, pasta salad, smoothies, french toast, did the laundry and learned some skills to take care of herself.
We had a great time doing things together and being tourists in Salt Lake City.
