We decided to do something fun with the kids on the last day of summer vacation. Initially we had planned on going to Seven Peaks Provo, but the weather rained on that parade.....quite literally too (I'm holding out hope for Labor Day to be nice enough to go). Instead we opted to go down to Thanksgiving point and play at their new museum, the Museum of Natural Curiosity. Friends, this museum is AWESOME!! It's got this jungle room with rope bridges and a huge climbing play area. It's got a water room where you can experiment with all kinds of water fun. It's got a motion room where you can learn about movements. It's got a place called Kidopolis where you can make stop motion movies, do magic tricks, play with huge Legos and much more. Outside it's got a maze, a splash pad, a Koi pond, a playground, and a whole forest to explore. We were there for around 4 hours and still didn't do everything there was to do.
After the museum, we dashed home for quick showers, a fast dinner, and a change into our Sunday best. We went up to see the Ogden Temple open house. The temple was FABULOUS, the rain WAS NOT. It was raining way too hard to get pictures of all of us in front of the temple :( But the temple was just BEAUTIFUL!! I can easily say it's my favorite temple now. It quite literally took my breath away.

They have this hang like a sloth exhibit. Got several good shots of Space Man Spiff trying to hang like a sloth.
 |
| They also have this pitch black cave with obstacles to try and get your way through. They placed cameras inside so you can watch from the outside and get a kick out of watching. |

The magic hat. I couldn't talk Lion Heart, Fire cracker, or Nathan into doing it.
Fun in the water room.

| You could step into this and feel what it's like to be in high winds. |

Spider Monkey cracks me up. First he had to fight the bear and then he wanted a shot by shot picture of him walking away
