Today is the second day of T and J's visit with Grandpa and Grandma while Mom and Dad are in Yellowstone. Yesterday the boys spent most of the day playing with their backyard neighbor friends-swinging, climbing, picking berries and tomatoes, and playing indoors when it got hot. They also went with Grandma to run errands and choose a new book for reading time. For this Camp Grand Nana visit Grandpa is reading us the first book of the Boxcar Children series. We also got a copy of Farmer Boy for another time.
Today we went to Thanksgiving Point. It was $2 Tuesday, more aptly named 10,000 people Tuesday. It was very crowded. Grandma had never seen so many strollers in one place before!
We went to Farm Country and then to the Dinosaur Museum. Lots of fun. Aunt Jenn and JJ went with us and took all three boys around to see the farm animals while Grandma stood in line for their turn on the pony ride. The pony ride was their favorite part. Then we walked over to the museum and Jenn and the boys ate lunch in the shade while Grandma waited in line to get into the museum. We all loved the dark tunnel in the museum where it feels like you are in outer space. Just lots and lots of stars all the way around you no matter which direction you look. We also had fun in the giant sandy play area burying dinosaurs and making rivers.
Next time, we're going on a regular price day. After school starts again.
We are going to bed early tonight because we have big plans for the morning. We are going to pack a little lunch and go "spelunking." We want to get up to the cave before it gets hot so we are leaving early. If you are familiar with the trail, you will know what we mean when we say that we are going to stop on our way back down to eat our lunch in the little grove of trees near the top. Maybe we will see some little animals on our way up. We'll give everyone a report and hopefully have a fun picture or two tomorrow.
