Spring Break Fun

A little over a week ago we decided to go with Porter's family and take the girls to that dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was a pretty cool museum. They had a lot of hands on things to do for the kids. They got to use brushes and un-bury dinosaur bones and there was a water and sand table to play with. I thought it was pretty expensive, thirty dollars for just Porter and I to get in. Thankfully Porter's parents paid for the girls or that would have been another twenty five. There was also a 3-d movie to see which was kind of neat. The girls liked it but I don't know if we would ever go again. We are more into doing cheap things with the girls, but we're willing to try anything once
The silly girls un-burying dinosaur bones.

This was a huge dinosaur and all I could get in the picture was the foot so I had the girls pose by it.

Brynlie by a Triceratops, you can't really see it in the picture.

Here's just a couple of pics of the girls swimming at the hotel. I think that they had more fun swimming than anything else we did that weekend.



We also went to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. When we first pulled up to the aquarium I was a little worried. It looked like and I pretty sure it's true that they converted an old grocery store into the aquarium. I wasn't quite sure what to think about it. I only hoped it would be worth it.


It was really small but I was pleasantly surprised. They did have a lot of cool fish to see and they let you pet sting rays. My kids just wanted to touch the fish that were in the sting ray tank and not the sting rays. They even had little sharks to look at. It wasn't too expensive which was a bonus and the girls got to use their own money to buy themselves souvenirs. I think the girls really enjoyed it.
Besides taking the girls to the movie Monsters vs. Aliens the museum and aquarium are about the only things we did with the girls for spring break. I got really sick and could barely get out of bed for a few days so the girls didn't have that fun of a break but at least we got to do a few things.
