Toadally Awesome Day!

So Monday was Labor Day, but no one was in labor, so we had a fun day together. We went to the U of U's Natural History Museum. They had a fun exhibit of frogs and toads. (And yes, Tim, there was a copy of a Frog and Toad book on display, too!) I learned that all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. And Callie can be kind of froggy, too!


Could this be the mysterious L.K. that Kyra is trying to make into her Prince Charming? And WHY does Callie have two heads?

And lest anyone think my children are perfectly well behaved, let me assure you, they can be quite witchy at times:

We looked all around the other parts of the museum, too. The rocks were a big hit (go figure!) and in fact the girls each picked out a rock to buy at the gift shop. (What a racket that is - roping parents into buying their children ROCKS!) Brynn got some pink quartz, Callie got a rosette rock that does kind of look like a rosebud, and Kyra liked the Tiger's Eye. Here they are with a huge geode:

We saw the dinosaurs, too. Here's my handsome husband with them (to keep the girls from stealing the entire spotlight:

We got to see a cool demonstration by the U of U physics department where they did lots of things to demonstrate Newton's Laws. Callie was in heaven. She wanted to help with everything, and she impressed the presenters, who called her a "science geek." She was proud. Here's one of the presenters, just before the balloon blew up in his face:

Kyra & Callie both got to try out a demonstration where they spun on a platform and moved their arms in and out like an ice skater to change the speed of their rotation. I was so amazed Brynn would get up in front of a group and do it! She can be pretty shy.
After the museum, we went out to Training Table for dinner. We let Callie do the ordering on the little phone, she thought that was pretty cool.
So that was our fun day, and so ends this frog blog.
