A couple of weeks ago Eric, Caleb and Luke sluffed school (thats Utah slang for ditching) and we had a family fun day! It was the day before my b-day, so that was a good excuse, right?! We went to the Draper Temple open house early in the morning. It was peaceful and beautiful! It was such a neat feeling being in the temple with all our kids. I made the comment to Eric: "I don't know when we'll all be in the temple again." He looked at me and said, "In June for the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house". Smart aleck!
After the temple we went out for breakfast. (Hey, I got up at 6:00am that day!) They thought it was so cool to eat out and order pancakes! (you can see we don't get out much around here!) After Denny's we went to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was nice to be there on a weekday... we had the place all to ourselves! The boys had a great time exploring and running around.
The boys played in the sand and water for nearly an hour building dams and moats around their islands. Eric was the tsunami that "tested" their building skills. He really is a kid at heart... and a great Dad that loves to play with his kids!
Yikes! The boys create a three-headed dinosaur!!
Sadly, right after I snappped this photo, Adam flipped backward and banged he head on the floor. Poor little guy! (Lesson for Mom: be more concerned about safety and less about photo op!)
Baby Anne wasn't feeling too well and mostly just slept in the stroller. Here is a shot of the little cutie awake!
