Dinosaur Museum

I really wanted to take the kids to the new dinosaur museum. Dinosaurs is what makes Vernal a tourist area in the summer (well dinosaurs and the awesome mountains and rivers we have). Anyways I hadn't even been until we took the kids and Aunt Gaylynn. It was pretty awesome. I think the kids really enjoyed it. They seemed to fascinated with all of the bones and stuff. Everyone had a good time and we enjoyed all the artifacts. James' favorite was the fossils and the kids really liked the dinosaur models.

I dunno I think Gaylynn looks pretty fierce? Don't you?

I think the native american artifacts were probably my favorite things to look at.

Mud Boggin'

So yeah obviously we aren't a family afraid of getting dirty. James wanted to take the kids to go see mud boggin super bad, so we went. It was ok but we wish the track had been muddier and longer. Next year James' hopes to soup up his Bronco and compete. My response to this you may ask? You get to wash the car!

Pioneer Day Parade

Even though I was not able to attend with them, James took the kids and Gaylynn to see the Pioneer Day parade. James took a lot of pics so I just randomly assorted a few for you to see. The kids said they had fun but they were kinda bummed that they didn't get more candy. They said the people throwing candy didn't throw very much and they think it is because of the recession that they were being so cheap. It was kinda funny.

Gone Fishin'

We took the kids fishing. They both had their own poles. Even though we didn't catch any whoppers I think that we all still had a lot of fun just hanging out by the water and spending some time just relaxing. I know james was super excited just to have the kids their with us and so was I.

We went to see the Temple

We took the kids and James' Aunt Gaylynn to see the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I know me and James really enjoyed taking the kids to kind of see where we getting married. I hope they all had a good time. I know the kids thought it was beautiful and so did we. Now that me and James are married we really want to try and go to a session is an many temples as we can. I can't wait to see each of the temples' unique beauty. Sorry the pictures are so dark. We went to a late open house.

Exploring the Basin

We took the kids on a little site seeing tour of the vernal area and what trip would be complete without seeing some of the awesome remnants of ancient civilizations. Plus as it turns out the kids are just as adventure loving, nature intrigued as James and I are.

The kids were laying down to see how they compared to the size of some dinosaurs. Results: they'd be like gum under their feet.

Aint Nobody Here But Us Chickens

Chickens you may ask? Why did we get chickens? Good question. It was really James' idea. But he agreed he would take care of them so I figured what the heck. So now I'm going to introduce you to the newest members of the peterson/sage family. The lightly colored bird is the one James picked out her name is Oakley. The black bird is the one I picked out and her name is Buckley. So here they are.
