Utah Trip: Day 4

Phew... day 4 was an eventful one. Get ready for picture overload! We spent most of the day here...
We started out at the Dinosaur Museum...The boys zoomed by most of the exhibits (very short attention spans in this family and they're a little too young to be interested in all the details) but they loved the interactive stuff...
Benny Boy seeing how he measures up to a dinosaur...
The boys immediately recognized this guy from Ice Age (even without all it's "woolly"-ness)...
Surely those aren't my children climbing on the exhibits :) Finally, another spot where getting into stuff is encouraged...
The boys were in heaven in this huge sandbox digging up dinosaur bones...
Ben also liked the "Design-a-Dino" exhibit. A dinosaur can't have too many spikes you know...
After we got our fill of fossils, we headed outside to the Farm where all the creatures were actually ALIVE...
The tiny baby goats were too cute. If they would stay that small, I'd have to adopt one as a pet...
Ben was a little too comfortable behind bars in the play town jail...
The farm mostly consisted of the usual cows, horses, chickens, and goats. But there was one exciting addition I don't think I've ever seen before...
The free pony ride was a big hit with the boys...

But nothing beats a free kiddie cone, especially if it's blue bubblegum!...
As if that wasn't enough fun for one day, we decided to postpone naps and head over to a park to play with all the little cousins...
There was an irrigation ditch along the side that the kids L-O-V-E-D. Water beats a play ground any day of the week with my boys...
Ben thought he was so big keeping up with the older boys and "swimming" through the tunnels. Mo was content just to sit on the side, throw rocks, and soak up the sun...
You know they slept good on the way home after all that fun!

Thanksgiving Point looks like so much fun. Keira would really like that too. I haven't spent much time there, but I think Kelly used to take her boys a lot.
