Free Fun in Utah!

We are all enjoying being tourists in Utah. There is so much to do for free! We arrived in Utah late Tuesday night and we were so glad to be done with the trip. Wednesday morning we met Scott's Mom up on BYU campus and enjoyed lunch in the Wilkinson Center, bought BYU stuff for the boys in the bookstore, and then toured the Bean Museum for about an hour. The boys were mesmerized by the giant Elephant in the middle of the museum and they loved looking at all the animals. Scott and I enjoyed saying "Don't touch that" and "Get down from there" about a million times.


Today, Thursday, we went back into Provo again and went to the Paleontology Museum. Easton and Luke were in love!! There wasn't much to see, so it only lasted us about 20 minutes (if that). Easton saw an Ogodon Rex (his made up name for a T-Rex type dinosaur) and a Mother, a Little-foot, a Petrie, and a Spike. Anyone know the movie? After the dinos, we had a little picnic downtown by the Provo Tabernacle and then walked around the exhibits for the Freedom Festival. Scott and I also took a self-guided driving tour of Historic Provo provided by the wonderful booklet from the Chamber of Commerce. It was actually kind of neat, but it is really long if you go look at everything.


We are looking forward to the rest of the free things to do in Utah this weekend of the 4th. Its great!!
