Movie Quotes

My children are hillarious.  After watching Tangled for the umpteenth time they picked up some phrases.  As we were driving down the road the other day my two-year old asked me to roll down his window.  As the wind came rushing in he said, "woo-hoo, best day ever!"  It was just too funny and he did it more than once.

Another one of our favoirtes actually comes from the internet series "How it Should Have Ended."  They have a series of short cartoons called Super Cafe.  In it Batman and Superman have conversations over coffee.  Batman often says, "I AM BATMAN."  Somehow this phrase keeps popping up at our house.  It is pretty hillarious.

George Eccles Dinosaur Park

We had a fun day in Ogden with the Kings at the dinosaur park.
This was the biggest fossil they had and it was impressive.  They had some robitic dinosaurs and the kids weren't sure what to think of that.  My four-year-old was drawn to it even though it scared him.  I sat with him for ten minutes as far from them as he could and still be able to see them.

My favorite part was all the models out in the outside area.  I loved walking down all the paths and finding more dinosaurs.  The kids were scared at first and we had to explain the noises were coming from speakers camoflauged to look like rocks.  It was interesting to see the models especially since they gave a scale so the cute stegosaur that was 1/3 scale would be very intimidating full size.
After a fun day at the park we stopped at Dylan's for lunch and ice cream.  Yum!  I also bought and sent some post cards which I haven't done in years.

Sprinklers

I just love activities that are multi-purpose.  On a hot day there is nothing better than utilizing sprinklers for a cool down.  When the tempurature rises and there's no breeze it feels so good.

It was so hot that day the I couldn't resist running through the sprinklers myself and it felt SOOOOOO GOOD!  What a way to spend a Summer vacation!
