SLC Trip

Brent had a conference in Salt Lake the other weekend, so we made a quick trip out there. Apart from Ashton getting carsick (cleaning up in the restroom of the Elko gas station is a blog itself), we had a great time. We swam, played with cousins and saw Nana and Papa. I had been wanting to take the kids to The Museum of Ancient History at Thanksgiving Point (hereafter referred to as "The Dinosaur Museum") for quite awhile, and we finally made it. We had a great time, it just went too quickly. To all our friends and family we didn't see...we'll catch you next time!

My sister, Mimi, met us at the museum with her kiddos. It was so great to see cousins.
The museum did not disappoint!

Jackson was in heaven and I have to admit that after reading all those dinosaur books, I was excited to see some "fossils". Who knew Allosaurus was so small?

Jackson and Maddie.

They had several interactive dinosaur exhibits. Jackson was in HEAVEN. He could have spent several hours there just playing with all the exhibits...but we were run out by all the field trips. Seriously, did every school in Happy Valley decide to have a field trip that day?

Ashton had fun, too.

More exhibits.

This was hilarious. They were supposed to be finding fossils in the sand. It turned into a dance beach party.

Jamming away.

A final picture at the museum.

The next day, we went to the zoo. We love the train there!

Kolton and Jackson.

Sweet girls...Ashton and Maddie.

We also had to ride the Carousel. (I still get dizzy and sick thinking about it!)

It was so much fun. There was a new baby elephant, giraffes, monkeys, lizards, snakes, etc. We had a blast!

FUN, FUN, FUN!!
