Simple Things-Thanksgiving Point

On Friday, we had the chance to go Thanksgiving Point to attend the Tulip Festival in Lehi, Utah.

It was the first sunny day in a long time and finally felt like spring.

Some of the tulips were out, there hasn't been enough sun for all them to bloom yet.

Thanksgiving Point was created to celebrate the community and giving thanks.
It's a beautiful place filled with acres of landscaped gardens, each with different features.

Love this carousel.

The gardens are also a spiritual place for thinking and pondering.
If you look closely there's hidden thoughts and scriptures in each garden.

My favorite garden is the Secret Garden.
I grew up loving the movie.

It's even peaceful enough for a goose to lay her eggs in an arch.

What a wonderful Spring day!

Hope you'll go during the festival now until May 7th!

"For the beauty of the earth,

For the beauty of the skies

For the love which from our birth

Over and around us lies,

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour

Of the day and of the night,

Hill and vale, and tree and flow'r,

Sun and moon and stars of light,

Lord of all, to thee we raise

This our hymn of grateful praise."

-Hymn 92
