Dinosaur Museum

Grandma Gibson invited us to the Dinosaur Museum on the last Tuesday of August. Apparently, Thanksgiving Point had a Tuesday special all through August where each venue was only $2. You can't beat a good deal like that. Doug, Amber, Leah, and Paige came too. We had fun hangin' with them (They have been in NYC the past few years while Doug was in Podiatry school) and Grammie. Unfortunately my camera battery gave out about 10 minutes after we got there. This is all I got. Grandma wants to go back and read all the informative plaques that the kids brushed past to get to the next cool thing. Sorry Grandma.

Orem Owlz Game

The kids orthodontist hosted a patient appreciation day/night at the Orem Owlz baseball game. The kids got a free shirt (which Trent had signed by several of the players-way cool!), dinner, and a ticket to the game. The rest of us had to pay, but it was a fun evening. And, just to let you know, the Owlz did beat the Helena Brewers (whew!)

Alpine Days Water Day

We attended the annual Alpine days water games with Stephanie, Nate, and Zack Shattuck. The highlight is always the firetruck which douses the kids with the firehose. Trent was soaked.

Liberty Land

Trent won tickets to Liberty Land at school. He wanted to go to all summer. We were finally able to go in August. Reagan and Mady Jex went with us. They had a blast on bumper boats, cars, roller coasters, jumping frogs and of course, Laser Tag. I tried to get more pictures of laser tag, but Trent told me that I was ruining the game (I have become an official nerdy mom).

The Gateway

As a last hurrah of Summer, we went to the Gateway Mall. The kids had a great time at the Clark Planetarium playing on Mars and the Moon, forecasting the weather, looking at the cool stuff.

Then we went to the children's museum. They played games, pretended to fly the LifeFlight copter, did puzzles, played grocery store, and built with huge blocks. We had to drag them out of it.

Of course, the kids had to play in the fountains also. On the way home, Trent told us that that is the coolest mall ever.

Mitchell's bday

Mitchell turned five this year. We went to Brick Oven (A family favorite). Mitch enjoyed the birthday treat

Bryce Canyon & Ruby's Inn

At the end of July, we went to Bryce Canyon. We stayed at Ruby's Inn and had a great time. We also stayed a night in St. George and went to see Footloose at Tuacahn. It was a really fun vacation.
