Last Week of Summer, Day 1



On Monday, I rounded up all the local cousins and enlisted their mothers in a trip to BYU. We started out at the Bean Museum. The kids did scavenger hunts and had a wonderful time looking at all the dead animals. Let's face it, that's what they are. I even took a picture of Quincy with Shasta the Liger, a mainstay from the Hogle Zoo that now resides at the museum. In the words of Napoleon, "it's pretty much my favorite animal."



After the museum, we went to the Botany Pond to feed the ducks and have a picnic lunch. It was lovely and overcast, which was nice. At this point, my little ones were beyond exhausted. So the aunties kept my older girls and took all the kids to a new waterfall on campus and to the creamery for ice cream.


That night, our daddy accompanied us to Seven Peaks for the first time of the year. It was so much fun to have him there. Evenings at the water park are so much cooler and less crowded. And it was so fun to have daddy there to help us go down all the bigger waterslides. So much fun!
