Spring Break

This week my kids have been out of school for spring break. In my effort to entertain them and to complete a requirement for Taylor's Faith in God award we headed up to the church museum. Now I figured this adventure could turn out really good or really bad. But fortunately for us it was a great day. We wandered around the museum and Owen only touched one priceless painting with his grimy hands. That is saying something.

The museum has a hands-on child's area where we spent most of the time.









After the museum we wandered around Temple Square a bit, hung out with some missionaries and watched a video at the visitors center. All the boys were well behaved for the entire 15 minutes. Now that is saying something!

"Hey boys, go over there and I will take your picture."


This is very difficult to get them in the same picture frame let alone see all of their faces. This was the best that I could do given the 3 seconds I had before Chasey bolted for the nearest planting bed.

"Taylor hurry and take a picture of me and Bennett."


Again, this picture is far from great, but at least it is proof that I accompanied them.

After Temple Square we ran over to grab some lunch at the Lion House Pantry. All of the boys were well behaved except for Chasey who refused to sit in a high chair. That is no different than when we are at home, so I don't know why I even bothered to try.

So all in all it was great. The boys had a good time and they behaved. Which means I had a good time too! What more could you ask for?
