Exploring science at the Planetarium

With Summer slipping too quickly through our fingers we decided to use up some of our great free and half price admission tickets from the PBS Kids reading-a-thon we earned last November.  In a whirlwinds of fun we visited the Hanson Planetarium (We loved watching a star show in the domed theater), exploring the awesome Discovery Gateway Children's Museum, and discovering the fabulous Utah Museum of Natural History.  We also picked up a few free books, lots of snacks, and plenty of drive time as we visited all of these fun places located in Salt Lake City.  

It's hard to pick a favorite activity, but I think the little kids really loved the children's museum best and I loved the museum of natural history the best of all.  We are all so thankful for opportunities to learn and explore these great places this summer.  Thank you Utah PBS!











But of course the best activity of all this summer was playing at Grandma's house and knowing that Grandma loves us so very much.  :)

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
