Dinosaurs Galore

Whenever we are in UT we love to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. I took the kids the other day and Uncle Jared went with to help chase the little ones. We had a lot of fun. The museum as several interactive areas for the kids to play in and Ciara LOVES that. It was Dalin's first visit to the museum and he was more interested in getting out of his stroller and pushing it himself than he was in looking at the dinos. One of the areas the kids can play in is a water/sand play area. The room has a circular trough at just the right height for the kids and it's filled with large granular sand, water, and plastic trees and dinos. The idea is that the kids can build damns, rivers, lakes, etc. Ciara had a blast, as always, but Dalin wasn't thrilled with the mess it created on his hands. He'd touch it then shake his hands to get it off. The other play area is at the end of the museum. It's a pretend dinosaur dig area. there are two areas that have a buried dino skeleton and there are brushes for the kids to use to dig up the bones. Of course it usually ends up that the kids bury each other instead of digging up the bones. Ciara, again, loved it but Dalin didn't like the feel of the sand. I put him in it and he just stood there and wouldn't move. He would climb in and out not sure whether he wanted to play in it or not. Below are some shots that we took while we were there.

Happy Easter... A little late

so this is a little late but we've been distracted. We left for Utah at the beginning of the month to do some work for Zane's parents and we're still here in UT. The projects have taken longer than expected, which is ok, since we weren't able to do any work in MT. We've enjoyed the time with Zane's family so much but I'm starting to wonder if Rich and Ronda are starting to get sick of us! Dalin had a fun easter. He had the coveted toy of the day. You can kind of see it in the picture. It's the two cars, they are sitting on a little track and you push a button and they shoot off. Zander, Dalin's little cousin was a little envious of that toy. Ciara, unfortunately was sick on easter and didn't even want to get out of bed to hunt for eggs. As the day wore on I became sick as well, I ached from my head to my toes, literally!
