Museum of Ancient Life

The kids had a long weekend from school for UEA (teacher's conference), so we decided to spend one day seeing some local sights. We went to Thanksgiving Point, in Lehi, which has several different areas, including a 55-acre garden and a working farm, both with hands-on activities, as well as restaurants, a golf-course, gift shops, theaters, and lots of other fun things. My brother, Eric, joined us, and we started out at the Museum of Ancient Life, which is supposed to be the largest dinosaur museum in the world. We had so much fun there, we ended up not getting to anything else! Fortunately, we bought an annual membership, so we can go back and see the other stuff, too.
