The Dinosaur Museum and Kangaroo Zoo

On Saturday, July 12th, the kids and I went up north with Dalan's family while he was in St. George playing in one of those all night softball tournaments. We went up to the Dinosaur Museum, which was fun until we went to the 3-D movie. Oh, that was the worst 3-D movie I have EVER seen. I was so sick afterwards. Throughout the whole movie, my eyes would not focus. I felt like I was cross-eyed the whole time. So, add a headache to the nausea. Yeah, it wasn't the greatest. The bad thing is that the movie itself was probably somewhat interesting but I couldn't pay attention to it at all. I don't have one memory of what was said during the actual movie.
















Then we went to Kangaroo Zoo. This place was a blast. The kids and adults :oD all had so much fun. There was a game of tag going on until Trent tagged/pushed Kaela and she fell. So, she got me to chase her all over the place trying to find her. We would start out racing to the end of one of the bounces and when I got to the end, she was nowhere to be found. She's a quick one. I think we spent a total of two hours there and the kids are ready to go back. I walked out of there with a few injuries, but I still had a blast.










































All in all, it was a pretty fun day. The kids had a blast and I was beat when I got home. I guess I'm just not as young as I would like to think I am.

Okay, I am the biggest loser......

I totally want to go to the New Kids On The Block concert!!! I'm dead serious! Dalan would think I am sick in the head or something. I haven't found anyone to go with yet. I LOVED them when I was a pre-teen. Oh how I loved baby blue eyed Joey. I find it hilarious they are touring again. They are having a concert in SLC on November 15th. I checked into tickets, and you can get pretty decent seating still. Hmm...wonder why. Could there be a lack of interest? Anyway, everyone I know that would want to go lives outside of Utah, which is a bummer. I just think it would be fun to go up and be stupid girls. Anyway, that's my blurb for now. It's quite a dilemma for me...ha, ha!

4th of July

Kaela on one of the floats.
Her arm is up and ready to throw us candy.

So, lately my days are getting longer and longer it seems. Dalan's family is in town, so we spend a lot of time at the res, which is getting really old really fast. I haven't gotten too much done around this house as far as organization, which is fine. Keri comes to visit once a year and Rick visits twice a year. So, I probably won't get anything done until August, which is fine.

The 4th of July was a pretty good day. Kaela was able to be on one of the floats. Her dance teacher put a float together for the girls to be on. She had a lot of fun doing that. We then headed over to the park and saw a few people from high school. It's the only reason I like going to the park. It's like a big reunion. After that we went out to eat and then home. I crashed! I can't seem to get enough sleep lately. I think I am just worn out. That night we went to the derby. The kids had a good time. I thought it was a pretty good derby. They did a good job on the fireworks, too.

Anyway, that's about all that has been going on. We were going to the res everyday, but I'm done. I needed time away. So, maybe this weekend. We are leaving in a week and four days to go to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore. That should be a fun trip.
