Day 5

Day 5 we headed to Ogden.

My two twin divas rocked their sunglasses and sippee cups on the ride up

Our first stop was the Hill Air force Base Aerospace Museum.

There was lots of neat airplanes for the kids to look at.

I wish I could be pushed around everywhere in a stroller!

This fierce looking plane with teeth was a favorite for the little boys

The 3 "big" kids

The museum had a really neat kids area inside. It was amazing. We stayed in there for well over an hour and the kids played non stop. There was so much to do.

Carter and Tristan enjoyed the hand held airplane toys

Mitch thought he was pretty cool keeping a ping pong ball in the air using a hair dryer

Lexi found herself a second Mom, my sis-in-law Charity. We dubbed her the "2 mom." Lexi loved her and wanted Charity to hold her many times all week.

Mitch, Lexi and Tristan- They landed on the moon!

They had so much space and airplane dress up gear for kids and adults. It was so cute. Leah and I loved the helmets!

Mitch was a great pilot. Since his daddy works on airplanes, we thought it was fitting that he finally got to fly one.

We stopped for lunch after the aerospace museum, then headed to the Eccles Dinosaur Park.

We have been looking forward to this place for months. Mitchell is obsessed with dinosaurs and I was very excited to see his reaction to dinosaurs everywhere.

He found the T-rex right away!

Ben decided to let him get up close and personal with the T-rex and it was a little too close for Mitch... That look on his face is terror. It was good for him. One of his favorite movies is Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and he went through a stage a few months ago where he watched that movie daily and would then beg and beg and beg for me to buy him a baby T-rex. He wanted a real one. Maybe this up close encounter will deter him.

Carter is going through a stage where he doesn't like getting his picture taken, so I had to trick him into thinking I wasn't taking a picture of him, but of the dinosaur.

Mitchell also loves the movie "Land Before Time." They refer to the dinosaurs on there as Sharp Tooth, spike tails, 3 horns and Long Necks. Those names are so much easier to say then most of the real names. So here we are posing with a long neck.

It was HOT (especially for us Seattle-ites), and everyone needed a break

Comparing human feet to dino feet

After walking around to see all the dinos, the kids played on a playground and in the grass. It was a nice break from all the walking we'd done all day.

Lexi and Papa shared a treat.

We had a great day. The dinosaur park was fun- it wasn't quite as amazing as I was hoping for, but I am glad we went. I am hoping that going there, if nothing else, will buy me some time before Mitch asks (again) when he can get a baby T-rex.
