a day in Salt Lake

Yesterday we finally took advantage of our free pass to the Children's Discovery Museum at the Gateway. We LOVE this place but rarely go there because it is pretty pricey. Lindsey and her kiddos tagged along and we spent most the day doing the "Salt Lake things". The museum was filled with stuff that kept the kids entertained for hours. Even Kenzie and Hunter got into the blocks/building/earthquake simulator.

You can't see, but Maddy is turning a wheel that makes
the paper spin...very cool pictures.

Ty was thrilled with the machine that vacuums the ball up into a tube .

Lady playin' tunes on the xylophone.

Water is always a hit with kids

... more vacumming...

while the kids checked out the helicopter.

Look mom! I can fly like a bird!
...apparently....he really can...

rock climbing wall....not nearly as big as it looks...
I had to crop out the floor :)

This is the kids walking into temple square. There is a new exhibit in the south visitors center that has a replica of the Salt Lake Temple. It has miniatures of the rooms/murals/furniture so you can actually see what much of the temple looks like. There is a whole big display all about the temple....very cool. We went over to the Church History Museum and saw my parents. We took the kids on a treasure hunt through the museum, and papa turned a movie on for us in the basement. We finished the day at Texas Roadhouse (YUM!) and Tim suggested letting the kids walk through the mall (that is a rare and surprising suggestion). Kenzie and Maddy were super excited...Carter, not so much. All in all, great day with people I love!
