We had spring break last week and Kevin even took the week off to play with us and get some house and truck projects done. We decided to go down to Salt Lake City and spend a few days. Wednesday we headed down to Lehi to the dinosaur museum.
The kids loved it, but I was pretty impressed myself! They have 60 complete dinosaur bones which is more than any museum in the WORLD! I was amazed. Coolest place!
They also had this shark and I told Ari to scream and act scared that the shark was going to eat her. This is the face she does....not going to scare off any sharks that's for sure! She's just too sweet :)
We ate at Inn n Out burger, went to Ikea and just had a blast hanging out around Lehi, Sandy area and then we spent the night at a hotel in Sandy and swam that night in the indoor pool.
We got up Thursday morning and went to Denny's for breakfast and then headed to the Hogle Zoo. (Along with every other family in Utah apparently). We saw the long lines and paid parking and wanted to change our minds, but the kids were already sooooo excited to go, so we had to follow through.
It really was worse than Disneyland....a line to see each animal. We miss our zoo we had in Springfield- so much fun and never crowded.
Hailey just wanted to see the giraffes. They were her favorite for sure. She took my camera and was taking pictures of them.
There was even this cute baby giraffe. Ari just told me the giraffe was her favorite "amimal" too :)
Scott just wanted to see the snakes. He is crazy over snakes! Almost every book he brings home from school is about snakes. If only his Mom would get him one for a pet....now that would take some major persuasion right there!
We stayed til about 2:30 or so and went up to "this is the place" monument but the kids were pretty wiped and so were we. We went and got some treats at the gas station and headed home, of course stopping by Target on the way.
It was a fun few days. We spent the rest of Spring Break playing outside, riding bikes, doing yard work, and Kevin doing the brakes and rotors on the Toyota.
Then today we woke up to snow. Wonderful.
