Our Day Trip to Utah - Part 2

Oops! I forgot to post Part 2 of our quick little Utah trip. But better late than never!

After the Dinosaur Museum and Ikea we took the kids over to Temple Square.

They loved seeing the big Salt Lake Temple. No matter how many times we told Alice

that it was the temple, she kept calling it a big princess castle.

We took them over to the Church History Museum for a little play time

in the newly remodeled children's exhibit. They had a lot of fun.

And we couldn't leave the museum without seeing the replica of the

statue of Moroni...or as Sammy says, "Moro-knife."

Kate loved having her own camera to document our little trip so she could

make her own scrapbook with her pictures.

She took this one... a view of the temple from the Christus.

OUR FOREVER FAMILY

All in all, we had a really fun little trip and enjoyed spending the day together.

Our Day Trip to Utah - Part 1

A few weeks ago we took the kids down to Utah on a day trip.

Our first stop was the Museum of Ancient Life

Dinosaur Museum in Lehi. They had a lot of fun learning about

the different dinosaurs, seeing the fossils, and taking lots of pictures.

YIKES!

Kate's reaction when she first heard the "dinosaur noises" over the speakers.

Sammy said, "It's okay. The dinosaurs are all stinked anyway."

Kate's first sight of her favorite dinosaur, T. Rex!

The Allosaurus and the "Alice-aurus"

Building mountains out of the sand at the erosion table.

This is their genuine reaction to the shark attack.

(Kate took this picture.)

Digging in the fossil beds.

Our second stop was to Ikea for shopping and some lunch...sorry no pictures of that though!
