Over the weekend we took Bevin and Mckall to the Utah Museum of Natural History and we had such a great time. We picked up the girls at 10:00 a.m., buckled them in and we were off. It was so much fun to spend time with them and let Mindy have a few hours to get things done around the house. How cute are these girls?!
I loved walking around with Mckall with her harness/backpack on, she is such a busy body and loved roaming the museum so it was a good thing that she couldn't go too far without me right behind her!
This is Bevin looking in the magnifying glass at the algae growing in this big tube of water
They had these big puzzles for kids to do where they put the nucleus, mitochondria, etc. in the correct place, and once it's complete, the whole thing lights up. Bevin loved it and did two times before other kids came along and wanted to do it. So fun.
Here's Bevin staring at the fish in the fish tank - she was fascinated with it!
Brady helping the girls play in the sand/water. This exhibit was trying to teach kids about the deserts in Utah and how the sand erodes and creates canyons and stuff. They played in this sand for a good 20 minutes before we moved along to the next exhibit.
Here we are looking at animals that exist around the Great Salt Lake and look who's in the background of the pic....Elder Oaks. This was our sneaky way of getting a picture of him without having to ask him directly. :-)
The girls LOVED playing in this stream of water and catching fish with their little nets. We played in here for such a long time and of course their shirts got soaked, but oh well, that's what aunts and uncles are for right?
Apparently Mckall had so much fun she couldn't stay awake in the car ride home. We stopped and got the girls some lunch and headed back home. It was such a great time to be able to spend time with them - Thanks Mindy!
