If you follow the Uboldi and Trevino family blogs, you'll notice we all have a similar post about the Utah Museum of Natural History. That's because my mother-in-law called Monday morning to tell us that it was free that day at the museum and that they had a big frog display going on. It sounded like a perfect family night, but Marcos had to work late (we've moved family night to Tuesday since he usually works late on Mondays). So I decided to brave the free museum day with three kids by myself. It actually wasn't that bad! I packed a picnic for lunch and we headed down. We walked around and saw the frogs, then the dinosaurs and then went upstairs to see bugs, some awesome archeology displays, and rocks. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but it was cool! Dylan really is a scientist at heart (takes after his geeky mom) so of course he couldn't get enough of the museum. After we had seen everything, we went outside and had our picnic. Then we went back in to see everything one more time before we left. The kids had a great time! It was definitely worth the trip to SLC!
The kids under some sort of hut/shelter
Very cool display of early people and how they lived
I love this picture with the kids leaning over digging for fossils.
They had so much fun. There were little paint brushes and tiny pebbles for them
to sweep away from the bones. Definitely a favorite of all three boys!
More digging
Climbing on the frog prince
I don't think Preston realized he was part of the witches' brew.
He seems pretty bored with the picture-taking process.
Dylan, however, seems very nervous.
Maybe he's feeling guilty for trying to make a potion out of his brother ;)
These frogs are so tiny and cute - even if they are poisonous!
The smallest frogs I've ever seen

That sure was a fun day for all of us! I wish we would have noticed and done the excavating bones things, my kids would have loved it.
