First half of June 2011

On the 4th we did the Home Depot project which was supposed to be a Father's Day gift, but we were late and got kits for the Christmas picture frames.

It sure was hot and sunny that morning!

Afterward, we stopped by Zeppe's for some Italian ice,

then on to Lagoon!

On the 5th we released the butterflies we raised from caterpillars. My mom gifted us some last year and they were so neat, she did it again. If you haven't done this before, I HIGHLY recommend it!

Tammy took the week off work to spend time with the kids and take us awesome places. We started out on the 6th at Thanksgiving Point where we ate some lunch in the deli. Faith and Christian decided to share a fajita salad, but then ate all of Tam's chicken pesto pasta as well. I enjoyed a delicious protein shake :(

We absolutely love their dino museum and ended up spending five and a half hours there!

Buddy's favorites are the hands-on exhibits and he loves looking for the little hand sign that designates them.

Of course, nearly two hours of our visit was spent at the sand and water table.

And the gift shop was as big a hit as always :)

We went to the ice cream shop near the deli where the kids snacked on some fairly high priced cones. After seeing others order the sundaes that were only about a dollar more, we decided that we should order one or two of those and share them next time. They're huge!

The 8th was our next outing with Tammy. We started at The Old Grist Mill in Ogden for some lunch.

Then, on to the Dinosaur Park!

Faith loved reading all the information signs and learning about each dinosaur.

Here are the kids with their Tam.

We ended the day with ice creams from the gift shop (Buddy's is a Spiderman head), thanks Tina!
