The next day we went to Provo and that trip took forever. We went and walked around BYU and each of us got something at the bookstore there and the kids took forever to decide. Then we went to the BYU earth science museum and looked at the dinosaur skeletons, then to the Monty L. Bean museum which has all of these stuffed animals. Hundreds of them. Rylee was terrified of this huge like 10 feet tall Kodiak bear. It was enclosed in glass. Rayah was freaked out by this huge moose. I didn't realize moose got quite that big. Unfortunately our camera was wigging out so we only got a couple of pictures one of which I posted yesterday. We went to my brother's house to stay for the night. He was away for military training so his poor wife Karen got to deal with us all on her own. She made us amazing pizza. The kdis had a blast and it was nice to catch up with Karen. She read books to the kids before bed.
On Thursday morning after doughnuts we headed to Salt Lake. We went and saw the temple, went to the beehive house which was amazing and then to the Conference Center. The kids loved that. Then we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and saw the movie about him there. I have seen it before but Lyle and the kids hadn't. They really enjoyed that. Then as we were on a schedule we quickly toured Temple Square. Both Visitor's Centers and the Tabernacle. We rushed up to UofU to get our nephew, Jordan from Bball camp so his mom wouldn't have to drive clear up there as we were already there. He is 15 and 6'2. Porr guy was quished in our car with our 6 kids who all seemed to want his attention, but he took it in stride and was so sweet to them. We ran by Burger King and ate and then headed to Ogden to Pineview Reservior for the family Reunion. I will post about that tonight.

First 3 days of our trip!
Ok so we left on Tuesday at 12:30 and drove to Fruitland, Idaho. We got there about 8:30pm(they are an hour ahead of us) and ate dinner and visited. We went to see a house Lyle's brother Lane remodeled that looks totally new. It was absolutely amazing. It is 2400 sq.ft. for 245k so if anyone needs a house in Ontario Oregon they should check it out. I can only say it was WOW! We stayed up til 2 am visiting and playing Xbox.
