Adventure #6 Baby Animal Days!

 We got lucky again this year!  We were hoping for rain during Baby Animal Days because it really discourages the crowds and we're not afraid of a little mud and rain!  Melissa and I bundled up the kids yet again and enjoyed a fun day at the Heritage Center!  There were no lines and plenty of space to sit and enjoy holding all the baby animals!  The baby bears were back, but they are not that cool because you can't touch or hold them, you just watch the care takers cuddle and play with them.  All the other parts were great, from face painting to kettle corn, we loved it!

Adventure #5 Ogden's Dinosaur Park!

 Ogden's Dinosaur Park is one of my kids favorite places to go!  This Time was a little different because we were given little Dinosaur fact booklets to bring along with us as we explored.  We had to find the five different Dinosaurs in the booklet and fill out facts about each one.  Once their booklets were complete they were able to take them back to the ticket office and get two Dinosaur postcards each!  The kids thought it was great and it really made you read and learn about each Dinosaur!  Grandma Thatcher came with Nick, Annie, Lexie and Meagann!  Stephanie came with her three kids, and Tricia brought her family!  This was probably our most fun visit!  I wonder if it is because we've been cooped up all winter and it was just nice to be outside and doing something fun!  Afterwards we stopped at a little diner for dinner!  This was Sophia's first visit, and she was so nervous and clung to me like a velcro monkey when we stopped to watch the mechanical T-rex and Triceratop display.  She loved the Dinosaurs outside and the park!

Adventure #4 Skiing at Wolf Mountain!

 Night Skiing is my newest favorite thing to do during the winter months!  Night skiing starts at 4:00 p.m. and ends at 9:00 p.m. which gives us a perfect 4-5hrs of ski time.  This is ideal for my little skiiers, and for me too!  The other nice thing about night skiing is it is less crowded, less expensive, I don't have to worry about Saturday crowds or pulling the kids out of school.  It's nice for Dan as well because he can still work most of the day!  Monday night is Family night up at Wolf Mtn. so it's $40 for a family of 4!  To rent skiis for the kids cost only $7.50.  Such a fun and inexpensive way to enjoy an expensive sport!  Wolf Mtn is great, it's the smallest resort in Utah, but it lights up it's entire mountain for night skiing!  There is a fun snowboard park and it's very family friendly, a perfect mountain for the kids.  I can't believe I am saying this but I can't wait for next winter so we can take the kids back!
