Day at the Museum

Easter 2007

Hi everyone! This is our first attempt at a blog. We hope to share our family Happenings with the ones closest to us and keep in touch more frequently. This seems to be an easier way of doing so than sending a mass email to everyone. Which seems to end up being returned because of spam or file size issues. Happy reading!

Our most recent family outing was to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. Rebecca (my sister) and her boys met up with us. The museum has plenty of breath taking Dinosaurs and exhibits. The tour lasted about an hour. The boys had fun running from one exhibit to another. Including Dallin our youngest son. We first had him strapped in a stroller but that lasted about 2 minutes, and then he wanted out. He did quite well keeping up with the older boys. He may have had an easier time keeping up if it wasn't for his security blanket and binki.

The museum had a couple of activities for the kids. Digging for fossils in the sand was a big hit. Also, taking pictures in front of a Giant Great White Shark caused some hearts to skip a beat or two.

When we first started the tour I asked Brock what the people are called that dig for "Dino" Bones and artifacts. He responded with out hesitating "Paleontologists". I guess the school system isn't that bad after-all.

At the end of the tour the kids found a machine in the lobby that stretches pennies and adds a dinosaur imprint on one side of the coin. This turned out to be their souvenir to take home.

The day ended with having pizza at The Brick Oven in Provo.
