Museum, Snow

We went to the Museum of Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point for Junie's birthday, and we loved it. The rainforest play area was everyone's favorite, but it was too vast and labyrinthine to get many pictures, so most of our pictures are from the other areas. Of course everyone enjoyed being a floating head!

Four-year-old (!) Junie was very proud of herself as she balanced on the spinner.

They got some pretty good smoke rings!

This room was really cool, full of all kinds of drums and percussion instruments which you could control using these computers. You could choose which beats sounded and which instruments played on those beats. I could have stayed there forever.

Stretching to reach!

Out the tiny door! What a fun time!

We also have been enjoying the late-season precipitation this year! There has been so much rain, and in April we even got some snow. 

Theodore's baby blessing

It was so fun to get out the little white boy blessing suit after all these years! Theodore looked so cute for his blessing. Grandma Nelson came to church with us, and it was nice that Grandma and Grandpa Nielson got home from their mission just in time to come too!

I only have a few pictures of the other boys in this suit (and none of them are on the blog), but after getting so many cute pictures of the girls in the blessing dress on their blessing days, I felt like Teddy deserved an equal opportunity to be darling. And he did not disappoint. We love him so much and we're so glad we have him!
