Natural History Museum of Utah

 After Christmas Justin and I were able to go to Salt Lake City to see our niece blessed and also see Justin's Parents who were visiting from Montana. While we were in town Justin's parents paid for all of us to attend the New Natural History Museum of Utah that had just opened a few weeks earlier. It was really neat to see all the dinosaur bones and all the different fossils that they had. One of the fist pictures I am going to show you is of the dinosaur room. The had fossils everywhere. It was pretty neat. On some parts the floor was even glass and they had dinosaur bones under your feet. Leah was almost scared to walk on it because it really did look like you were going to fall in the hole but once she stepped on it and realized what it was, she was okay.
 At every part of the Museum they had things for kids to do. This one part they had a wall that kids could draw their own dinosaurs.
 Keyan really could care less what we were doing but I had to take a picture of him at the Museum. This alligator was pretty big as well.
 We did get some family photos along with all of us looking into magnifying glasses.
 At one part they actually had a place where kids could walk down and uncover some dinosaur facts. Leah mostly liked sitting int he hole but she was having fun.
 In this picture you can see us at the earthquake center. It was fun because you would build your own tower and then push the button and see if it would hold for the earthquake. I loved some of the kids faces when the building fell. It was quite funny.
 Leah Loved the big Cell Puzzles because when you would put them together they would light up.
After we were done looking at the Museum then we went to the kids play area. They had all kinds of things for kids to do. Even the adults got into dressing up. It was pretty funny. Leah loved the play pond with real water. Let just say that she didnt leave the Museum dry.
 We really had a lot of fun. We would definitely go back again. Thanks Mom and Dad for taking us.
