Family Night at the Museum














We picked dad up from work and went to the Museum of Natural History in SLC. The kids really did enjoy themselves. Next time we go we will definitely take more time to talk about what it was we were looking at. The models of the Dinosaur bones were by far the best. I am sure when they get the new building completed it will be even better. Here are some pictures of what we saw. the best part was the Physics demonstration by some professors in the physics department. A Vacuume and balloon made science look so fun. Liquid Air and a lazy-Susan just added to it.

Aspen

Our Dog Aspen


As of July 12th we have a new member to our family. As it turned out we went to the shelter to look at a beagle they had, but it wouldn't be available for adoption until the following Tuesday. As we were leaving one of the volunteers was walking a dog outside preparing to take it to SLC for a pet adoption day. Sammie wanted to take her for a walk and of course everyone else wanted a turn too. This dog was so good with the kids, even though Jordan was very afraid of her and waited in the car for us. It was decided that Aspen was going to come home with us. Since then Jordan is no longer afraid of her and we now have a 5 year old heeler/collie mix dog that I have never regretted having in our home. The only complain I have is that she sheds, but the good thing about her is that the kids love her, especially Samantha. She's house broken, she only barks when she hears something outside that concerns her, she loves to play fetch, and she is gentle with my baby. So welcome home Aspen.
