We had planned to go to the zoo today, but Tim ended up working a volunteer shift at D.I. for the whole afternoon. Instead of the zoo, I took the kids to BYU... I figure exposure is good for their future plans (or should I say MY future plans?)
Anyway, ulterior motives aside, the Bean Museum on campus is a very cool place for kids. Mine love it. And did I mention it's free? We have a winner!
Ethan scaring the lion?
Josh was very happy to have me take his picture.
Emma: "Take a picture of me, Mom!"
Price getting trampled by an antelope.
Price with the liger.
Look at those teeth!
It is seriously impossible to get a good picture of Anna these days. She just doesn't hold still long enough for me to catch her with her eyes open, looking the right direction.
Hey- we were at BYU. I had to get a picture of the cougar.
Not sure what this is, but he sure is cool looking.
We came out of the Bean Museum just a few minutes before 3:00, so we stuck around to hear the carillon bell ring. Hearing "Come, Come Ye Saints" on the hour really feels like BYU to me. The kids were duly impressed.
Next, we headed over to the Earth Science Museum. Not nearly so entertaining, but still worth the admission price (yeah, it's free too).
Is that an awesome set of antlers, or what?
We came home for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and dinner (in that order).
Tomorrow we're off to Evanston, for Thanksgiving with Tim's family.
Today, I'm thankful for my kids.

I love the BYU museums. They always fitted our budget during the college years and there was always something great for the kids to discover!
