It is really fun to go to the Zoo in the middle of winter because the animals are more active and awake!! We went with our friends and spent most of the time in the gorilla house because they were right next to the windows. It was as if they were playing with the kids!







The church has a new exhibit at the Church History Museum. It focuses on Latin heritage within the church. The children's interactive part, stars with some Book of Mormon stories. There is a ship like Nephi's ship the kids can play in then it goes to modern-day stories of Latin America. There is even a part where you can dress up in dancing close and learn to dance the Salsa! The kids had so much fun....we could have stayed there all day!







Superbowl

We love watching the Superbowl every year. We don't follow football during the season but like to make yummy food, cheer for whoever is ahead and watch the funny commercials!
We took a trip up the the Daughters of the Utah pioneers museum. It is crammed full of things pioneers had that their families donated to the museum. We were there for quiet a while and still didn't see everything!!

Max is our little comedian!! He is so funny and keeps us laughing. You would think he was so much older. He is such a joy to have around and has such a huge imagination!

Hill Air Force Base

Trying to keep the kids occupied and entertained in the winter can be tough but we do have a lot of fun things around to do on cold winter days. We took a trip to Hill Air Force Base to check out all the planes.







Ballet West



The Arts council in the city each month puts together short/mini performances that little kids can go to and experience the arts without braking the bank or having to sit still and quiet for a long time. We went and watched a short performance of Sleeping Beauty that Ballet West put on. They also had ballerinas talk to us about what they do and showed us different moves. Ellie got to go up on the stage after. The whole family loved it.
