Last Saturday we took the kids to the dinosaur museum. They had a blast! They got to play with wet sand. We walked around and saw lots of dinos. Then they got to go into the sand and uncover fossils. At the very end we went into the lab and the got to make a clay mold. Kyler loved it and Addie was walking around growling.
For those who don't know, Pioneer Day is a holiday in Utah. It is the celebration of the early members of the church crossing into the valley and making this their home. This year we decided to go to this is the place monument park. They have fun activities for kids and it gave us a chance to show Kyler what the day was about. The kids loved it! The petting zoo was a hit. They both loved riding the ponies. Although Addie got nervous for a second. And of course to end our time there, we rode the train. Then we went to a BBQ at the Nygard's and had a blast watching fireworks. 
We finally made it to the zoo. The kids had a blast. Addie loves animals and was so excited each time we found a new one. She loved "the cat" or cheetah. It was running around and her and Kyler both thought that was the best. Kyler was excited about the train ride too.
We have had a busy weekend. On Thursday we went to Lagoon for stake lagoon day. Once a year we get discount tickets. The kids had a blast. Thanks to Stacie and McKelle for watching the kids for a little while so we could go on some of the big rides. On Friday I headed out to youth conference. The young women and young men in our ward started off with volunteering at the food bank. After we ate lunch we headed up to Brighton Beehive camp. We had a blast. I went on a zipline, jumped off a 30 to 40 foot perch, repelled down a rock, and a bunch of ropes courses too. Dan held down the fort. He even took the kids shopping and picked out these cute outfits for them to wear to church. I got back at 7p.m. on Saturday. Thanks to Baylee Dan and I left at 8 to go and see the new Harry Potter. This weekend was jam packed but it was all worht it! 
This year for Father's Day we got Dan Be a Chef. He got to go and have a one hour training session with one of the Benihana chefs. Then he set up for us to go back tonight and he got to cook our meal. The chef was right there to assist him but Dan did all the cooking. I was so proud of him! The dinner was so yummy! Just like the meal you would get from a trained chef. The kids loved it! They kept clapping for him and telling him good job. Kyler thought it was so cool that the moment we got home he was in their play kitchen pretending to be a chef too.
