Natural History Museum - Spring Break Day 3

At the end of last semester Emily was awarded four tickets to the Natural History Museum.  We decided it would be fun to go over Spring Break.   We planned to make a day of it and maybe even head next door to Red Butte Garden to have a picnic during our visit.  When the day arrived there was a forecast for rain.  By the time we got up to the garden and museum it was snowing.  So we ate lunch in the van and then headed into the museum for some fun. 

 

 

There was so much to see and the great thing for me was that there was plenty of stuff to keep both the teenagers and the kindergartener happy and entertained.  I didn't hear the words "I'm board." at all.  That is really hard to do with that age span. 

 

 

 The boys really liked the live creatures. 

 The dinosaur bones were a favorite too.

 

 There were a lot of things that I did not get pictures of.  We but I think my favorite moment of the day was at the end.  We wandered into an activity room and the kids all sat down and started playing.  I finally had to tell them it was time to leave, so we didn't get stuck in traffic. 

the sky had cleared a little by the time we left, but it was still too cold to visit the Garden.  We will have to go there another day.
