In June we flew to Utah again to see family and to go to Eric’s Wedding!
We packed in a lot of fun activities with family and friends.
We went to the Living Aquarium and saw lots of fish! One particular fish we got to watch would spit to catch its prey!
We met Rachel and rode the Frontrunner train from North Salt Lake to Ogden to go to the Treehouse museum and then rode it back. Kaden loved riding the train!
Here we are at the Treehouse museum. My sister-in-law Charlotte and most of her kids joined us at the museum too! It was a lot of fun!
One area of the museum, you could experience things from different countries all over the world. Here is Kaden in Japan fishing, then in China trying out chopsticks. Other countries you could experience were Mongolia, Mexico, Germany, Peru, and Great Britain. We especially liked trying out the marionette show of the “Little Red Hen” in Germany.
In each themed area you could dress up, play and read books related to the topic! The teacher in me loved that!
In the farm area, you could play with toy barns, ride in a rodeo, milk a cow, plant a garden and get eggs from the chickens!
Upstairs, in the medieval area, Neil and Madelaine battle at chess.
And here is our royal family!
Kaden also got to act out many other professions like President and doctor! Lexi like watching Kaden take care of the babies at the hospital!
One of Neil’s highlights of the trip was going to the USA vs. Honduras Soccer game! We were glad Neil’s parents, Marin and Rachel could join us! We had great 3rd row seats!
USA won! Yay!
Another highlight of the trip was going to the zoo! It was great spending time with Grandma and Grandpa P as well as Jennie and Brett. McKGrandma was also there and we met up with Brett’s grandparents, Matt and Peggy for lunch. Peggy works at the zoo and treated us to free admission and a carousal ride! Thanks Peggy!
We saw a great elephant show. We learned a lot about elephants and got to see the elephants do cool tricks! The giraffes were also a favorite!
Just a little monkeying around!
Look for more on our trip to Utah in June Utah Trip part 2! Next up is all the wedding fun!
