What We Did Last Saturday

Last Saturday Wes had plans to go fishing but they fell threw and all of a sudden we found that we had a whole Saturday with nothing to do.

At some point we want to go to the Golden Spike National Monument in Northern Utah but we didn't want to dedicate 4-6 hours for the trip.

So I did a quick search online and found all these cool Church history sites in Utah that you can go to for free! I didn't even think about that but afterwards it seemed like a no brainer.

Anyways with four stops to make we hopped in the car.

Our first stop was going to be the Joseph Smith Memorial Building but on the way we heard on the radio that the building was being used for a wedding show that day so we decided to skip it.

Then we were going to the Brigham Young Memorial which is right there too but first we had to find parking.

As we were walking back to the BY Memorial we saw the Church of Jesus Christ History Museum and decided to stop there.

It was so awesome and as usual I think both Wes and I would love to go sometime by ourselves when we can actually read about the artifacts there. But with kids you are either being pulled by them to move faster or you are chasing after them because they are tired of waiting for you. :)

Here are some photos we took while there.









The COOLEST part was a total surprise to us! There is a part in the history musuem that is kid friendly. It reminded me of the Children's Musuem. Totally cool! The kids loved it and we spent most of our time there.

We danced,
translated the golden plates,
we rode with Nephi to the promised land,
pretended to be DJs,
and gathered and prepared food.

It was great!









Even Sadie seemed to have fun.


We had to strike everything else off our list because as we were heading back to the car it started to snow. :)

Maybe tomorrow we will do some of the other things.
