September 2009: Laura's Visit

The last week of September, Matt's sister Laura and her family came to Utah for a visit. They stayed in Salt Lake for a few days before heading up to Logan so Ethan got to hang out with his cousins from Arizona.

The first day we hung out with Laura and her family, we went to the zoo. It was so fun to go again and see all the baby animals, the giraffe, tigers and snow leopards. Unfortunately the baby elephant wasn't out yet.


The next day we went to the Discovery Gateway children's museum. Out of all the exhibits Ethan loved the beehive ball center and of course the cars.

This car is especially cool since it has two wheels to turn.

The last day we hung out Brian, Laura and the girls were on their way up to Logan and stopped at the Dinosaur park in Ogden. Matt and I have been meaning to check it out, but had never gotten around to it yet. Ethan was still a little young to full enjoy it, but he still had a great time. I thought it was a great museum. Especially the outside dinosaur displays. It was great to just let the kids run around and not have to worry about them breaking them. The museum was decorating for their October spook alley, so there were little skeleton men and Halloween figure everywhere. It looks like it would be a cool haunted forest to check out.


It was so great to see Laura and her family and for Ethan to play with Bailee and Eli. I think he was only 9 months old the last time we saw them. Thanks Laura for letting us tag along.
