The Natural History Museum

This has been sitting unpublished in my list of posts! I have so many more posts unpublished in my head. But then I just put on my jammies pants and lay on the couch.

So, in September, we went on the free day to the Utah Museum of Natural History with cousins Emily and Jane. They were with Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Seth after their new baby brother was born.

Andrew had a love/hate relationship with the stuffed spider at one of the interactive areas.

The kids tried breakdancing on the glass over a dinosaur dig.

Then, a few weeks later, I was given the opportunity to do a radio story previewing the Museum's Family Sleepover events. They invited me and my older boys to check out the activities.

We pretended Max was a fossil found in the mountains, and carefully wrapped him up to transport.

Then we transported him carefully down the mountain. He wanted to do this over and over. It about broke my back.

Benny did it, too. They also made their own fossils out of clay, threw paper airplanes from the balcony, and more. The museum showed us where families could put their sleeping bags in the galleries, and we took a flashlight tour and had a snack. If you have the money, it would be a fun event for a family.
