Temple, Dinosaurs, Sharp Shooters and Cheese Fries

Grandma and grandpa P. live close to the brand new Oquirrh Mountain Temple, so we had to take a quick detour one of the days to get a close up view. It's beautiful. When we would pull into our hotel at night we could see the Jordan River temple to the west and the Oquirrh Mountain temple just behind it. We could also see the Draper temple when we got out on the freeway. It's amazing to think about how many temples have been built all over the world in the last decade.
Driving in the car is way more fun with visitors!

We love visiting the dinosaur museum in Lehi at Thanksgiving Pointe.

Nat had fun inventing things to try in the wind tunnel. To tell you the truth, so did I!


The sand and water area in the museum is a place we always spend a LONG time. Angela could have stayed all day long.

Guess who else had fun? (o:
These skeletons are so impressive up close. Crazy to think they were real.
Chris and I spent a long time reading about the underwater prehistoric creatures that lived in the oceans long ago - we are nuts about crazy ocean life!

It's tradition to get a silly picture in front of the scary "Jaws"
Ever heard of Cabela's? WOW. We didn't know much about them before this trip. Grandpa really wanted us to see. I've never seen anything like it. It's a destination outdoors store. They had fish, animal displays, a shooting gallery, mini museums, and so on. It was something else! The girls favorite part was feeding the fish and playing at the shooting gallery. Grandpa was impressed with Sarah's shooting skills. (o:
See Natalie feeding the fish in a video below - well worth teh 25 cents we spent on the fish food!




What? Davy Crockett hats? They really do have everything!

We had a few coins left to spend at Boondocks from our first time there. So we thought we'd do one more game of lasertag for good measure!

Two very good sports! (o:

A father/son air hockey competition.

We couldn't come to Utah without a visit with Emily and Casey's cute family and dinner at Training Table. So why not combine the two?

We miss auntie Em!

Sarah's new snazzy sunglasses. It cracks me up that the Top Gun style is back!

Sweet little Grace. She has grown up so much since I last saw her as a baby!!

Isaac being cool. (O: He was so cute with the girls. Emily sent him back and forth at the restaurant telling him questions to ask the girls to get to know them, like, "What is your favorite dance move?", "What food do you like?", etc.

Grace has some girls to be around!

Me and Em and Training Table - we go together like bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. (o:
