The one with Heber and Dinosaur Jim

Sara and I spent all day together on Friday, and when I say all day, I mean all day. I went down there at 8 so I could watch Grant while she had blood work done, and I didn't get home that night until about 10. 


After the hospital we went to Heber to see Cherise, who was watching Jens kids for the week. Chase was the only little guy home for most of the day while we were there, and he warmed up to Grant quickly and they played together well. Although Grant was even happier when the rest of the boys got home and played with him too, all the attention he got, even when they got in the washer. I was impressed when they said, "don't worry we aren't putting him in the one that spins" at least they thought that through! 


Luca did well, he mainly just hung out, and made weird noises and fell alseep in akward positions. As normal. 




Grant is so independent now, he wants to do everything on his own, or at least try first, and he does incredibly well most of the time and can succeed. 

He is talking more and more and I'd say about 80% is decernible! If he can't tell you so you can understand, he will take you and show you so you know. 


Once all the kids were home we went to Dairy Keen, and got ice cream and fries. This is the "train restaurant" grandma and grandpa always took us here. 

They have a Harry Potter Scene in the back of the restaurant and you can move the train if you pay, but it only goes back and forth lamely so we just look. 

Grant loved the train so much, his jaw dropped and he pointed it out when it came around. 



It started to snow while we were there so when we went back to their house my child was covered in snow. Him and his bald spot. Which is normal by the way. I called my doctor on the way to Heber. It makes me sad, I already can't do his hair anymore. It will be a while till I can again. 



While we were out Char told Sara about this "Night at the Museum" thing byu was doing for free that night. You start at one museum and have appetizers, move to the next one for drinks, and then an entree and then dessert. It was cool, however I'm pretty sure for most of byu it ended up being--"come get free food" night because there were thousands of people and not much museum.

It was very cool though, chaotic, and a touch overwhelming with children, so we didn't end up staying the whole time but I'm glad we went! 

The first stop was at the paleontology museum and it just so happened to be the opening night for the "Dinasour Jim" (Jim Jensen) exhibit! Who happens to be our great uncle. He is my moms uncle, which is just cool, and basically means that we were pretty much famous there. 

We talked to some of the workers and they said he founded that museum and a lot of the sculptures he actually put together himself!
