Night at the Museum

Last night Madeline and Olivia had "Night at the Museum" at their school. This event started about 2 months ago and Madeline chose to be Florence Nightingale. She studied everything about her life, and had to write two reports on her and make a display board. We were able to rent a really cool costume from Tuachan. Every child in the school dressed up like their historical figure and as you walked around each child would tell their memorized story of their life. It was really cool and we learned a ton. Madeline was really fun to listen to as she always has so much passion and expression. Olivia's class did their presentation together on Thomas Jefferson. It was very entertaining as you can imagine with 8 five year olds!

Kolob Canyon-Zions National Park

Spring Break was so much fun, it was sad to have to send my kids back to school. On Monday we drove up the the North end of Zion called Kolob. I packed a picnic lunch and thought we would have a picnic up there (as it was plenty warm in St. George) when we got up there it was snowing. I got out of the truck with our lunches and put the back of the truck down so we could sit there and eat lunch. About 3 seconds later we were all scrambling to get back inside the truck, it was so cold! We had a wonderful picinic inside the truck. It was so breathtakingly beautiful up there though.
