A Field Trip to the Church History Museum

One day we decided to go to Salt Lake City to see the new exhibit for children. Believe me, we had enough children to test it and find out if all these children between the ages of 9 down to 14-months-old would like it. (Emma was with us but chose to hide behind her mother for this photo.)

The kids loved it whenever they came near water. (There's Emma!)

Emma and Caroline wanted to pose in front of this statue.

The kids went up the stairs of the temple to touch the temple doors.

More water for them to stick their hands in.

At the doors of the Church History Museum a nice man offered to take our picture so we all could be in the photo.

The little kids LOVED playing in the boat and going fishing.

Natalie and Emma enjoyed putting clothes on the people in this exhibit and moving them all around.

Spencer tried with all his might to get into the little door to the house where the people were talking in the windows.

The spokes of this bicycle wheel kept his attention for quite a while.

Some of us girls enjoyed dancing. I think Natalie would say it's much more fun dancing while wearing a big skirt. Caroline could not be convinced to put on one of the colorful skirts.

It was fun for the kids to fix food in the kitchen and work out in the garden.

The kids all loved making things out of the big building blocks.

The back of the truck was full of animal puppets.

All that playing in the museum made the children very hungry for lunch. We found some shade on the lawn by the tabernacle and ate our food.

The kids being silly with their Bugles.

It was a great activity to keep the kids all occupied and happy for a good part of the day. Once back home they were happy to play together and listen to some stories.

I think we would give the children's exhibit an A+ for children of all ages. Rebecca also got an A+ that day for not working on the new house so she could go on the fun excursion with us.
