Fall Activities in Utah for Kids under 3: Muller Park

The beauty of the outdoors! Muller Park Trail is a gorgeous trail in Bountiful Utah. Kids LOVE the outdoors and the magic that comes with it.
You can park off on the road close to the houses. You walk up the road for about 2 minutes until you hit a bridge. Keep the kids close during this part because there are cars going up the mountain and down the mountain. There are also bikers that come around the corner. After you get to the bridge, the only thing you have to watch out for are the bikes that come and go. But, the kids are free to roam around.

Five minutes into our hike, the kids were tired and wanted to snack. We found this area off the road to have our snacks and water. Mia was the most uncomfortable one of us all, because she was in the hiking back pack.

They loved every dog that passed by them and said hi to all of them. There were some really nice dogs on the trail that day.

The hike is kind of steep, but totally doable for the little ones .You don't even have to go all the way up, we didn't. Emma and Nelson had fun collecting leaves of all colors.

Bret felt free to be and he ran most of the time. Mia liked it better when I was walking, I think she was really uncomfortable in the hiking back pack.

Next time, I think I'll just bring her in the kangaroo pack. But I like that I can pack snacks on this back pack. So, who knows, we'll see.

At the end, we went to the river that's by the road. Our goal was to throw rocks in the river and let the kids get the rest of the energy out. But Bret of course, likes to be an adventurer and go the extra mile and become part of the river. Didn't even matter that the water was freezing cold, he got in the water and then sat in the river. No prob.

We give this park/trail **** (4 stars)

1- Easy access
2- Safety- You have to keep a watchful eye on the kids. Don't stress out, but know there's incoming cars, bikes, dogs. In my son's case, I have to keep him away from the river. Especially the deeper parts. Because he will most likely go in. The trail is kind of narrow. We herded the kids away from the edge and it was fine. They were obedient. Bring extra clothes!
3- Entertainment- It was fun! The kids really enjoyed themselves. They loved to explore and just be outdoors.
4- Great place to have a snack with kids younger than 3 months and old enough to sit by themselves. I think Mia would have been more comfortable if she was able to sit on her own.

All in all, it was a great trip. We would do it again.

Fall Activities in Utah for Kids Under 3: Kuwahara Farms

I have made it my goal to try and get out as much as I can, while the weather is still nice. There are so many benefits to us leaving the apartment.  For starters, the apartment isn't as messy! I love being able to walk through my home! We also decrease screen time. And my most favorite is...Bret doesn't scream or throw tantrums as much/ as often... YAY!

This week's adventure took us to Kuwahara Farms in Draper

It was beautiful! They had three green houses filled with different kids of pumpkins and Halloween decorations. The kids loved the dragon in the first tent (Just in case you were wondering what we were looking at in the picture below). 

My favorite were the pink/blush pumpkins, like the one on the bottom right hand corner of this picture:

The kids are free to walk around and touch the pumpkins, sit on them, or play with the hay. Bret is usually the first to run away and venture off to more exciting parts, but this time around he stayed close. He was so entertained by all the pumpkins. 

They have these wagons there that you can put the kids in. Or the pumpkins. Or both! You can also bring a stroller! 

Here's my friend Anai pulling the wagon and wearing her baby Sophie.
Mia is in the back there somewhere in the stroller!

Tiny hands. Tiny pumpkins. Perfect!

So many gourds so little time!

Finally, the famous corn pit and the bounce houses. Bret LOVED the corn pit. Emma, not so much, but the bounce houses were a hit. Nelsito loved both the corn pit and the bounce houses, but he was more into the inflatable minions. Mia, well...she grabbed corn for the first time and her feetsies couldn't get enough! 

I wasn't very good at taking pictures of the bounce houses or inflatable characters.
 But you can see one of the bounce slides in the background.

We give Kuwahara Farms ***** (5 stars) for:
1- Easy access- Parking, Strollers, wagons...wheelchairs.
2- Entertainment- You can spend 2 hours there and the kids will be happy and ready to nap.
3- Food- They have yummy churros to snack on! We got 5, but I think next time 3 would have been enough for all 5 of us.

4- Bathrooms- They only have one porta-potty. With not a lot of space inside, so plan accordingly.

Happy Fall everyone!
