Museum and Parade fun!

Allyson & Dallin asked us if we wanted to go to the "Paleontology Museum" at BYU with them. I am so glad they set this up because we had a great time. Allyson had set up a tour for us to have which was absolutely awesome! The tour guide was so enthusiastic about dinosaurs that he made us all excited also. He was one of the most energetic people I have ever seen and kept the children's attention the whole time. We learned how to tell a dinosaur bone from any other bone - pretty interesting - I even learned so much. We even got to go back behind and be where they work on fossils and see the huge storage area where so many fossils are kept.

After the tour, we hung out talking for quite some time. Myles & Bradley had so much fun playing together. I feel bad that we don't get these two together more often when we life so close to each other. They absolutely had a ball! They enjoyed playing with sticks and dirt for a long time.
On June 27th, we went headed bright and early to the Lehi Roundup Parade. We were lucky enough to have Melissa come see the parade with us along with the Wilcox family. Before the parade started, Byron had purchased McDonald's food and the kids enjoyed eating it in the back of the truck. We were in such a perfect location on the parade route - right under a huge tree. It was a very hot day, but very comfortable in the shade. The parade was awesome, as usual. The kids came away with more candy than they ever needed. After the parade, Camille performed at Wines Park with Showcase USA. We had fun watching her then heading out shortly after she performed. Thanks Melissa & Mom Beck for coming to see her perform.

In the last picture I had to click on it to make it larger to see if that was you or Camille. WOW, your Mini Me! :) I am a huge fan of parades. They are a blast.
