This year, we planned a two-week vacation to visit family and friends in Utah and Idaho. We left Yuma relatively early (for us) and drove all day Monday, arriving at Grandma's and Grandpa's house in Salt Lake City very late. We decided it is just as easy to do one big all-day drive rather than break it up into two days.
Natural History Museum of Utah
On Wednesday, we visited the new Museum of Natural History with the Buchert Family. It was great to spend time with them again.
Al still greets visitors at the museum entrance.
The boys thought it was nap time on the observation deck.
The girls visited and enjoyed the view of the city.
There were new interactive displays,
cool insect collections,
pressed plant books,
and DINOSAURS!!!
We have a photo of Megan and Ian in this same dinosaur footprint from years ago.
(Don't ask me to locate it right now--it's in a box of photos someplace.)
Guitar Lesson with Grandpa
Megan wants to learn to play the guitar. Grandpa gave her one of his in preparation for her upcoming lessons with a friend in Yuma. Thanks, Grandpa!
Visit with Great-Grandma Young
Thursday morning we spent time with Great-Grandma Young at her house.
Beau, her cat, was friendly as usual.
Great-Grandma was having a good day, and we enjoyed talking with her.
The children played the piano for her, too, which she always enjoys.
