Dinosaurs!!

While we were in Utah we went to TWO different Dinosaur Museums! Lucy found a new love for Dinosaurs! She loved it! The first one we went to (in Ogden) has a section where there are replica's that move and roar. Sadie used to be scared of this at Lucy's age but Lucy was trying to reach through the fence to the baby ones! It was so cute!Allison, Sadie, Lucy and Elizabeth.You can buy little animal food pellets to feed the fish and animals. The kids loved it! Lucy loved the bunnies. (Don't ask me what bunnies have to do with dinosaurs, but hey, if it makes the kids happy...great!)
Feeding the fish!I came over here to take picture of everyone and Sadie joined me and totally posed for a cool shot! I turned around and there she was! So cute! Right at the foot of a dinosaur!!
Then after we went to the cabins, we came back down to Utah to see my Mom who flew up to SLC and then my sister Tricia and her boys Shane and Trevor who drove up from Vegas! So we were so happy! We got to stay at my Aunt Kay's house! We ALL LOVED staying there! She is so sweet and so hospitable!! The kids loved all her toys and different toy rooms. And we loved to visit and relax! Also, every morning we would wake up to a delicious fresh breakfast!!! My Aunt Linda and Cousin Kristen and passes to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point, so we got in for really cheap! It was fun to be with them! I have to mention, that first we went to the Quilted Bear in Sandy for some fun shopping! And best of all the Hungry Bear! It's a little restaurant inside the Quilted Bear! This lady runs it all by herself and has done so for years!!! It is the BEST!!! Yummy soup bowls, cookies, cinnamon rolls, Navajo tacos...everything!!! Ummm, I want it right now! Tricia and I would always go there when we were in college. We would go so much that she would recognize us. Well, it's been a few years, so she did not recognize us, even though Mom felt like she needed to share our story, of course! :) It was so fun and so yummy! We also got to see our cousin Melissa and her sweet little baby! He was so cute and so big! Sorry, no pictures from this part of the trip! I was starting to get sick of carrying my camera around!So here we are at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point! Lucy coming out of a tunnel! So brave!
They had a really cool sand and water area with trees and dinosaur's and stuff to play with! The kids loved it! Here you can see Shane, (unknown girl), Trevor and Sadie! They had so much fun building dams to block the water!
Sadie and Lucy.
Okay, this makes me laugh! Sadie found this dinosaur to sit on and Lucy was so upset because she wanted to sit on it. I told her she would be next, but she couldn't get over it. So then when it was her turn, she jumped right on, "smiled" and then was off! So this was her picture! I hope all that crying was worth it!At least Sadie's turned out cute (minus Lucy's arm and leg!).Here is brave Sadie! Wanted to go sit right by the shark. Lucy walked fairly close and then decided she wanted me to hold her. But she did like to LOOK at "Bruce" as she was calling it (from Finding Nemo for those of you that don't have a child under the age of 6 and might not know that!).Digging for bones very carefully!

I’ve been a “lurker” for so long that I feel guilty, and thus felt that I should leave a comment. I’m a friend of Scott’s (your cousin?) and found your blog by “blog hopping” one day. I now lurk fairly frequently. I have a little girl (almost 14 months) and it’s fun to see what your adorable little girls are up to (kinda gives me a glimpse at our not so far away future). Also – I love your pictures. My hubby is an amateur photographer (hobby only) and we often look at some of your pictures and try to duplicate some of them. You’re really great!!!
Anyway – I just wanted to come out of lurkdome. My blog is set to private. I’ll send you an invite if you’d like (just let me know what email address to send it to), as I’d feel less guilty if you had the option to lurk back. :-)
