We had a wonderful time walking through Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. The day was absolutely beautiful with no wind and the sun shinning. We spent almost 4 1/2 hours just walking through the beautiful flower gardens and displays. The ponds were my favorite with the tulips planted on both sides and then the green hedges giving a border look. It was fun to just get away and see all the beauty. We also visited the art gallery where they had glass blowers producing beautiful works of art. We went over to the dinosar museum which I have heard you can spend hours in there and still not see everything. They also have a working farm where the kids can feed the sheep and milk the cows. The lines were were long outside of the "Giant Size" barn. This was all created by the founder of Word Perfect who donated the land. Alot of the flowers are planted by volunteers. Each year all of the bulbs are dug up and sold for .25 cents. I can't imagine digging up that many bulbs - there must be millions!
This is the pond for children to play in.

This maze was as big as a football field completely planted with roses and the arbor behind it was beautiful.
This Christmas tree is made completly with disks of blow glass. Look closely at the presents they are all stained glass creations.
This dinosaur was painted on this 3 story building.

What a beautiful garden! I would love to go there someday...especially when all of the roses are in bloom.
