A Day Out With Skye

Long ago, we planned a day my wonderful, amazing mom could watch Jack so we could take Skye up to Snowbird to do all their fun summer activities without one of us constantly having to chase the little guy around.  That day was today, and of course, wouldn't you know it?  It had to be bad weather.  We did manage to have a quick picnic lunch, take a short walk through the trees, and get a goofy picture set up for Oktoberfest (below) before the freezing cold and the rain forced us to abandon ship.
 However, we still had the whole afternoon ahead of us so we decided to head down to Thanksgiving Point.  They have this great Tinkering exhibit right now that was tons of fun.  We started with these sand wheels.  All of us took a turn making designs. 
This is one Lance made.
 And then Skye did all of her favorite things like posing with fossils...
and dinosaurs...
 making lands for dinosaurs...
 and digging for dinosaurs!  I feel bad we missed out on time in the mountains, but time at the museum with our creative daughter was lots of fun, too!

I'm glad the day wasn't a complete wash-out so to speak. Thanksgiving Point held a lot of fun! I'm glad Skye got to have a day out with you and Lance. Jack was a good boy and he sure had fun at Kangaroo Zoo!
