Loveland Living Planet Aquarium ZAP Free Day November 30, 2015

We love the 'new' aquarium. The shark hall and the rope bridge are our favorite parts. As part of the ZAP (Zoo, Arts & Parks) program...there are different free days offered at different facilities. The ZAP free day for the Aquarium is November 30th. I would go early or take the kids out of school. Maybe with all of the Christmas Festivies the crowd won't be so bad.

Live Nativity in the Glen - Wednesday, December 2

Wednesday, December 2

at 6:00pm - 9:00pm

1035 South 1500 East, Salt Lake City, Utah 84105

'Come celebrate this special season by enjoying this live nativity. Dress warm. Shopkeepers are serving hot cocoa and rolls with honey butter in Bethlehem. Bring a can of food for the Utah Food Bank. Given the paths are narrow and we have live animals, please leave strollers and dogs at home. We look forward to seeing you. 
For those without young children, we highly recommend you come after 8 p.m. so traffic through the Nativity is more even.'

The 'Haunted Woods' at Murray Park

The 'Haunted Woods' at Murray Park is back...Monday October 26, Tuesday October 27 & Wednesday October 28...7:00pm-9:00pm Cost this year is $5/person.

Last year was our first jaunt through the woods. First of all, bring cash they didn't take debit/credit cards. Second...get there early...the line can be fairly long especially on family night (Monday).

My kids loved it! I loved that the 'creatures' acted less scary for our group with children than they did with the other groups. The kids loved the doughnut, fire and hot chocolate at the end.

And the money is for charity...have fun and give...that is the way to go.


Here is a little more about it from their facebook page...you can also go there by clicking

No Haunted Nursery at Homestead Nursery this year

My children are so bummed. We usually go to this nursery multiple times during October. I called the nursery this week to find out when they are doing the haunted nursery...and unfortunately they are not doing it this year. The sweet gentleman said they are just getting too old. So sad. I thought I should let y'all know since many of my neighbors and friends look forward to this 'less scary' haunted nursery.

Homestead Nursery is located on 1720 E 6400 So.

One of the many trips we took there
