Day 3- hike, children's museum, and Cabella's

These pictures are a little bit out of order.  But this evening after dinner, we went to Cabella's with the kids.  I had forgotten how many cool things they had there for the kids to look at. 

 Here we are looking at the big fish tanks.  Their favorite was the big white fish. 

 Sadie fishing.

 Zac fishing.  Ha ha...look at his face.

 This is what they do when I tell them to make a bear face.  ha ha.

 Grandma and grandpa with the kids...and a big elephant.


This morning, we went on a little hike.  Sadie had said she wanted to climb a mountain, so we went on a really easy trail.  We were all sweaty and yucky after the short hike/walk, but Sadie really loved it I think.

 We took lots of water breaks.  It was already 100 degrees when we got there at 9 am.  :)

 This is the new phoenix temple.  It's pretty cool to see what it looks like before it is all finished. 

 This was as far as we made it on the hike.  Zac was pretty much done by this point.  As you can see by the look on his face.  So my mom carried him on her back most of the way  back to the car.

Then right after the hike, we went straight to the Children's museum.  It is so much fun.  They have allkinds of simple activities that all kids love.  It was great. 

 Sadie and Zac manning the Ice cream stand. 

 Zac was so fun to watch.  He would get so into an activity. This was "play food" (fabric scraps) and plates and kitchen utensils.  He spent a long time filling up this plate and then he found an oven mitt...and carefully carried the plate to the oven...

 And then he dropped it.  The look on his face when he dropped pulled at my heart strings.  He was so sad, but he didn't cry.  So I helped him pick it up and he was happy again.  ha ha

 Sadie was nice and gave Zac a ride on this fun bike. 

 Emery had lots of fun with grandma.

 I think this was my favorite thing.  the kids really loved it too.  You put handkerchiefs into those plastic tubes and they would blow around and come out different openings.  Sadie was waiting to catch one from above, but instead of coming out that opening, about 4 of them flew out an opening that was right by her face.  They stuck to her face from the air blowing out of the hole.  I wish I would have gotten a picture of that one.  It was hilarious. 

And here is Zac trying to catch the orange one.  I think he could have stayed at this thing all day.  He loved it.


Miss you daddy!  Wish you were here with us!
