The Nanny Diary... Day #4

Today nobody threw up! Thank God for small favors!

Mackenzie went to school and Delaine spent the day at a friends house. So, I took Bryant and the twins out on the town.

We started out by going for a nice walk at Turkey Point. Bryant thought it was super cool to push the twins in their stroller.

Then we went to a really cool dinosaur museum. These are real dinosaur bones. Bryant was totally enthralled with the whole skeleton idea.

In part of the museum they had a whole room devoted to teaching kids about erosion and how plants, animals and environments become extinct. Bryant and the twins were thrilled to be able to play in the water. We spent at least 45 minutes in this room.

Bryant really enjoyed building a dam to stop the water flow.
Bryant is really starting to get the hang of his new "big brother" role. He loves helping the babies... especially Cassidee. He felt so grown up showing her how to use the computer and play dinosaur games.

One of the really cool things about this museum is that kids are encourage to touch many of the exhibits. Here are the twins playing on a dinosaur.

At first the kids were scared of this huge shark... but then Bryant decided it was really cool. Carson on the other hand screamed bloody murder. He went running and hid behind my legs.

At the end of the museum tour the kids got to dig up dinosaur bones in a huge sand pit.

And lastly, I have to say that taking all three kids was really easy. The hardest thing was getting them all loaded in the car! Actually, with Utah being Mormon country, everything is set up and geared towards large families. I didn't see anyone with less than 4 kids! It kind of made me sad that I only have Bryant. It was fun to watch all the large families having a fun day out.

And so I leave you with this picture that Bryant took of me. See... I am still standing and I don't have big black circles under my eyes... YET.
