First snow!

Oops...I posted this one too early.  You will see the rest of Halloween after this post!
First snowstorm of the winter! The younger kids and Max went crazy running around in the backyard. Amanda had to be at ballet, or she would have been out there, too!

 Nothing cuter than the kiddos enjoying the snow! Hot cocoa was in order after they got inside...they just had sneakers and sweatshirts on! Well, I guess Sydney had her 'fashion boots' as she calls them...but they have holes in the bottom! :)
 The new Natural History Museum of the University of Utah was also holding a VIP tour for those companies involving in building and moving everything into the new building.  The building is right up by Red Butte Gardens and is magnificent!  We got invited because Mike's company, Bailey's, did an amazing job at moving all of those very valuable and old items.
 When Mike would tell the employees where he worked, they went on and on and on about how wonderful Baileys has been to work with! As Mike put it, they love those artifacts more than their own families, and were so worried about them being destroyed in the move.
 The dino exhibit is really cool now! All the bones there together in this huge space.


 There are so many interactive displays interesting to both kids and parents!

 One of these moccasins is 800 years old!  We got to go into some of the storage areas that the general public will not be allowed to view.  It's quite amazing.


We were also treated to lunch.  We travelled there in the snow, but it was completely worth it! What a great treasure we have so close to home!
