William is studying Utah history this year. Right now, he is learning all about the geology and early life of Utah. So, I thought it would be fitting to visit the Museum of Ancient Life. What a fabulous museum! And even better, we were pretty much the only ones there! (Sure beats the overly crowded Perot Museum in Dallas!)The exhibits were great, as well as the number of hands-on exhibits that they had.William and Lucy spent a long time at the Tsunami simulator, making megablock houses to try and withstand the impending waves.Our last attempt, was pretty successful! It took pretty large waves crashing into it for a while before it finally was lifted off of its foundation. Lucy and William also tried to build houses to withstand a VIOLENT earthquake. Yeah, they were no match for the quaking ground. William is SUCH a fabulous big brother. He teaches Lucy so much, and with so much love. I love watching their precious relationship together. He built her special “reservoirs” at the water fossil station so that she could wash her “newly discovered fossils” off in. Lucy Loves twirly dresses. If given a large enough space, she will almost always seize the opportunity to spin. The dinosaur models at this museum were spectacular! I wish I would have taken more pictures of them, but of course Lucy had to go potty when we were at the biggest of them. We had to make a mad dash through the entire museum back to the restrooms, and then took a short cut to get back where we last were. She fell in love with this baby dinosaur. (But no, we were not the ones to feed it goldfish.)We will definitely go back soon.Everything is decorated so beautifully right now. When we left the museum, I promised Wii and Lucy a little treat. They had a fabulous little cafe next door, with some pretty amazing treats. Lucy was able to get an ice cream for $0.50! William got an Oreo Shake, and we brought treats home to everyone else who could not join us. Sam said we have to go back because his chocolate mousse was absolutely divine. Guess I’ll be trying that next time.
