Museum of Natural Curiosity and The Drowsy Chaperone

This last week was a lot of fun! After interviewing the week before for my dream job, and then spending the next week trying really really hard to not sweat over whether or not I got the job, I got the offer and accepted! Totally great.

Other than that I took my nieces for the afternoon while my sister-in-law had a doctors appointment. We decided to go to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point. It was SO MUCH FUN! First we went to lunch, and the girls wanted hot dogs, so we went to J-Dawgs:

They were happy! Don't know where the grump faces came from.

And then it was off to the museum. It was SO CROWDED! We had wandered for awhile trying to find it (and getting two little girls in and out of their car seats multiple times is no fun, just saying), and once we got there we had to stand in line for probably 30-45 minutes. But then we got it and it was fantastic. Kate (the little one on the right) is incredibly brave and independent, and wandered off on her own two times. Karli (on the left) was a really good sport about it though and would walk around holding my hand quietly while we looked for Kate. We had a great time especially in the water section, and Kate LOVED the little rubber beads you can build hills and landscape with in this picture:

A little blurry, but getting a picture of them in action is hard.

I kept having to stop her from throwing them. But how can you resist when they laugh with so much glee and smile so big. It really was so much fun. I would recommend going with two adults though, would have made the seeking I had to do a lot easier with more eyes since it was so crowded. When we got back to our house their Mom and Dad brought pizza, and we watched Aladdin.

We also had the great privilege of seeing The Drowsy Chaperone at the Ziegfeld Theater in Ogden. Scott's friend was in it and his wife had assistant directed/choreographed the show. It was so funny! I know they said that the crowd was kinda dead, but I was laughing my head off. We stayed the night (they invited us, how nice!), and in the morning they made us breakfast:

Kacee was nice enough to make a separate pan of eggs for Scott because he absolutely hates cheese in eggs. Mine were fantastic.

Last, we had a lot of fun at church. Here is Scott after being chosen by our class to wear the funny hat as a reward to our class because they were singing so loud:

It's just so fantastic!

And that was our week. Lots of fun!!
