This morning when we woke up it was snowing! The "Utah cousins" weren't impressed, but the Tunqusits and the Buells grabbed their snow clothes and went straight outside! I don't think i have ever seen such big snowflakes. They were awesome.
The kids were told they couldn't eat the snow off the ground (ewwww... germs) but if they could catch snowflakes in their mouths it was okay. Both kids looked like baby birds waiting for their mommy...
Ash learned the hard way that you should close your eyes while trying to eat falling snowflakes... it can get in your eyes.
They were determined to make a snowman even though there wasn't much snow on the ground. They said it was a "baby snowman".
That whole "no eating snow on the ground" apparently didn't apply to CJ if the snow was stuck to his gloves. It's like the "5 second rule" for snow ...
And eating snow off the fence now.....
This way takes too long...
Notice that she has taken off her wet gloves and is using her jacket sleeves to warm up her freezing nose.
CJ found a way to watch the snow fall and play with his Nintendo DS at the same time... smart boy!
I couldn't resist this pic of CJ and Stetson Berry playing matching blue DS's (CJ got his for Christmas- he got to open it early for the 12 hour drive, and Stetson is playing cousin Bryce's) They were sitting on the couch totally quiet and content. It was perfect after a long day of playing in the snow...
Today is Calin's 6th Birthday! To Celebrate we went to the dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point. We went with G&G Stone, The Buells, and the Berrys. It was so much fun!
Ash thought that posing like this in front of the megladon was hilarious!
I cant even imagine a turtle this big!
Ash said she liked this dino the best.
It took a lot of convincing to get CJ to get this close to a dino for a pic.
This place is awesome!
Cousins are so much fun
The kids loved the water portion of the dino museum. they got to make the sand into hills and dams and put the little plastic trees and dinosaurs on them then make the dam break and wash away the dinos.... and then do it again. They stayed in this one section for over a 1/2 hour. They had a blast!
They are so funny!
After visiting the dino museum we went home and make dino chicken nuggets for lunch.
We went out to iecream and CJ got birthday cake flavored icecream with sprinkles.
In the evening we went to "Kangaroo Zoo" an indoor bounce house. The kids had a blast! It was like 9 degrees outside and they were running around sweating having a great time.
here kitty kitty!
CJ liked this one.
Ash taking a rest
Mom, this birthday was great!
After the bounce house CJ wanted hot chocolate with marshmallows but he wanted candles too so we made some toast for him to dip (which he loves to do) and put the candles in it and everyone sang happy birthday to him. It was a great day!
