DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.It was honestly so much fun to squeeze all three kids in the back seat of her Explorer and venture up to the Museum of Ancient Life they have. It was the first time Aurora and I had been to the dinosaur museum. Dar still has yet to go.
It was SO busy when we got there. We thought we'd leave home early enough to be there when it opened, thinking there wouldn't be many people there in the morning. From this experience, we decided next time we'll go after nap time :) I think the bulk of visitors that day thought the same thing we did, so everyone was there right when it opened. It was a crazy mess of moms, kids, and strollers ALL over the place. It really was a blast though.
I put Aurora back in her infant car seat for the trip to get all 3 car seats to fit :)
Ethan, Aurora, Sadie
Some of the displays were okay for the kids to touch. Aurora was so fascinated with this one.
Watching a real paleontologist at work
Fossilized water ripples
An underwater display they thought was pretty cool
Rori didn't care so much for the dinosaurs, she just loved the "fishies" even if they were inside a rock
Ethan and Aurora LOVED this display of an ammonite split in half.
They'd take turns pushing the button to open it up over and over again.
Me and the Babs
Inside a cave for the kids to play in
Hesperisaurus
Some kind of raptor, maybe?
Brontosaurus
She found one of her favorite things...a computer she was allowed to play with :)
Not sure what these guys were called
She was pretty done by this point
Triceratops

I can't believe you. I am sure Darwin is cursing after reading this! There were like 3 Dinos that you didn't get the name!!! How could you! Lol! Cute pictures! It looks like you had so much fun!
We wanted to do this too, but just never were able to make it. You make it look fun, though, so we'll have to try for next time. :)
We had so much fun, too! I'm glad we were able to fit all three car seats in the back. Sadie and Ethan loved having someone in the middle to play with. Next year, we will go after nap time for sure! And no strollers. And... I will remember my lunch. :)
Looks like fun, you will have to let me know when you are going, I would love to go along, I think Carson would love it. Denise
