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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0160\"<\/a> \"IMG_0161\"<\/a> \"IMG_0163\"<\/a> \"IMG_0164\"<\/a>Then photos of the kids having fun:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0170\"<\/a> \"IMG_0139\"<\/a> \"IMG_0142\"<\/a> \"IMG_0146\"<\/a>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.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0178\"<\/a>Then we came home and assembled trbags for Lydia’s preschool tomorrow. They’re going to celebrate her birthday in class.<\/p>\n
