Introduction to Utah

Probably a week after we moved into the rental home in Utah, Bryan's parents came out to check everything out.  I felt a little bad for not being able to be a better host.  I was still getting lost most of the time ;).  We did make time while they were here to go the cool Dinosaur museum in Lehi.  It was a very nice place and the kids enjoyed it.  

The dinosaur structures were so big, we were all impressed with them.  I'm glad dinosaurs are gone after visiting this place.

They had a little area where the kids could design their own dinosaur.  They also had an area where kids could dig for bones and even a little water area where you could cause erosion.  

Mark and Paula Forbes have lived in Utah for awhile, they use to live in Fairfield when Bryan and I were teenagers.  They were so helpful to our family during this whole move.  When we learned our moving truck was going to take an extra two days to arrive, Mark stocked our home with sleeping bags, chairs, even a table.  That was more than we could ask for and we appreciated it so much.  So while Bryan's parents were here we thought it would be fun to treat them to dinner at a Brazilian restaurant.  We had a lot of fun and the food was delicious, can't wait to go back.

So part way through Ron and Karen's trip, Ron had to return to California for an important meeting.  So I offered to drive Karen home so we could enjoy a little more time with her here.  The girls started school right after we moved in, they were anxious to make new friends.  So while they were at school the rest of us would go out exploring.  Paula took Karen and I up to the canyon that is close to the house.  There was a little bit of snow on the ground and you can see Landry found some ice to play with.  Brody was in heaven and running to every pile of ice he could find.  I'm kind of sad we missed all the snow storms.  People from around here said it was a very mild winter.  Glad I stocked up on snow gear for nothing haha.

  

This picture below is quite blurry because it was taken with a cell phone.  We were able to go to General Conference with Bryan's parents.  Mark and Paula graciously offered to keep the younger three kids so we could attend.  It was such a cool experience.  We were able to see the spoken word right before conference started as-well.  We were so thankful for them taking the time to come and see us and help us get settled into our new home.
