Still More Fun in SLC...

The final day of our SLC Connect Pass marathon started with a trip to The Living Planet Aquarium.











It was small but we saw the plans for their future expansion... we'll definitely have to go back.












I was taking lots of pictures but my batteries died before we got to the sting rays. Do you think the gift shop would sell AA batteries? Nope!















































Next, we drove a few miles to Thanksgiving Point to the Museum of Ancient Life.









This was a cool museum because they had LOTS of hands on stuff for kids (and grownups) to play with.















































































We ended the day by going to the Bee's game. This was not part of our pass but, we just can't pass up a baseball game.




It was half price night (with a Cheeze-It box top) so we saw the game and had snacks... We had Dippin' Dots too!






Do you think he's trying to tell me something??







Tomorrow is the first day of Convention. Bill will drop me off at the hotel where Coleen and other's are staying and we'll start our four days of FUN!!!! Bill & Jamie will probably just hang out, play catch in the park, swim at Bev & Steve's and spend time with Grandma Brooks. I'll rejoin them on Saturday evening.

More Fun in SLC

SLC Connect Pass marathon continues...















Breakfast with Grandma Brooks

























































Riding the Tram to Hidden Peak at Snowbird Ski Resort. We took the tram up, hiked around and rode the chair lift down. Awesome!












































































































































We had lunch at The Lion House Pantry at Temple Square in downtown SLC. This used to be Brigham Young's home. They were having a private party so we weren't allowed to tour the upstairs. Bummer!
