For family home evening, we went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point. We did the high ropes course. Cooper was pretty anxious about it but ended up doing most of the obstacles despite being scared.

Story

Killian joined us and we went to the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point for family home evening. I pick up pizza on my way from work and met them there. They had a fun Rube Goldberg temporary exhibit and Cooper finally got to play in the water room because we took his swimsuit this time. He has been asking all summer to play in the water exhibit.

Story

The kids had the day off school, so we used our Thanksgiving Point membership and went up to the Museum of Natural Curiosity. At first, the kids were a bit anxious because there were so many people there and the place is huge and they were worried about getting lost. They warmed up after a bit. We played in the jungle area and built cacoons out of foam bricks. Then we played in the water area. Madi and Cooper got quite wet. We played with the air tubes then went to the play city and watched some magic tricks and learned to line dance and explored the different rooms.
