When it rains, it pours. Today I took approximately one millions pictures, and I finally downloaded pictures from our trip that I didn’t download before. I’ll add those pictures to past posts because I have so many from today.
Chelsea and I took the kids to the Bean Museum at BYU. I was so happy Chelsea introduced me to it. It’s a natural history museum that is very kid friendly–and free! Also, ever since we went to the Natural History Museum in New York, I have had a thing for taxidermy, especially when the animals are posed.
As an added bonus, there was a huge Boyd K. Packer exhibit! I knew that he was an artist, but his works filled two big rooms, and his attention to detail was exquisite. I was blown away.
So first, just a couple pictures from the Boyd K. Packer exhibit. Just look at that detail! There were walls upon walls filled with works just like these:
Then, my favorite–high drama in the animal world:
Then the pretty stuff:
Then photos of the kids having fun:
Chelsea is the greatest and invited us over to dinner. She made deeeelicious tostadas. We heart her food. This next one is a picture of the kids’ post-dinner snack. In the meantime, Derek, who served his mission in the Philippines, gave us much-appreciated travel tips. We are planning a trip this December, and his advice helped clarify our thinking on several points.
Then we came home and assembled trbags for Lydia’s preschool tomorrow. They’re going to celebrate her birthday in class.
