Utah Day 3- Alpine again

Today we spent our entire day in Alpine again. Since we missed the Dino museum yesterday we tried it again today and it was much better. I guess for the month of August it is only $2 to get in on Tuesday's instead of the regular $10. Huge discounts like that bring TONS of people! Today was very nice and not nearly as busy so we could go as slow and as fast as we wanted with little to no fuss. Ashlyn and her two kids met us there. Gavin even got to come because he wasn't feeling well this morning, but got feeling better to join us. We went around the museum which was really big and had a lot of dinosaurs. It had a spot where you could dig for some which was cool because all the sudden Eli had a little plastic dinosaur toy he was playing with that he found in the sand. There was another spot where you could dig in real sand a look for bones Liam actually walked around and tried some, but he wasn't a big fan of the sand. The museum also has a science area to play around in and a space hallway which was really cool. Eli and even Liam liked just standing in there. Another exhibit the kids liked was this Giant great white shark. It was huge and it looked like it was coming after you. Liam was scared at first, but then tried to crawl it it's mouth!

After hanging around the museum for a while we ate lunch and then played in this water thing. It wasn't like a splash pad. More like an art piece and you could pull buttons and it would shoot water. The kids just loved this and we honestly just stayed there while the kids played for a few hours. Ashlyn and I loved it because we got to just sit and visit while the kids played. Gavin, Eli and Bella became really good buddies. After a while Ashlyn and I noticed the kids were laying out with some girls on the concrete. It was so cute it looked like they were tanning or making new girlfriends, but they just said they were trying to dry off. They have out free ice cream to 3 and under so we got ice cream cones enjoyed them in the sun, then we went on a little walk to some fountains. The kids like exploring in there for while. After our walk we continued walking around some shops and we found a cute little store that kept the mom's and kids entertained.

After spending 5 hours at Thanksgiving Point we decided it was time to move onto the next thing. Bella's birthday party is Friday and Ashlyn had some things to do to get ready for her party so we went to Hobby Lobby to help them out. The boys ran around with swords fighting the whole time Liam included. It was cute, but after a while the kids were just to crazy. I figured it was a good time to head home so after Hobby Lobby we drove home. Tonight for dinner we went to the pizza factory. The boys chowed down on everything they could get their hands on while I enjoyed their salad bar. I found out on this trip that I liked Pickled Beets...who knew! After dinner we came home took baths and the boys went straight to bed. They went to bed really easy because of all the energy they used up. Today was another fun and eventful day and it would have been perfect if Liam and Eli didn't have diarrhea. Yep that right we were out and about doing all these wild things and Eli and Liam were running to the bathroom or getting diaper changes ever few minutes! They were good sports and very very happy. We are really enjoying our trip to Utah and we are excited for our adventure tomorrow.
