Nan visits!

Nana came out for a quick visit just the beginning of September and the kids were anxious to take her everywhere! The deal was school first then play later. First stop was the museum of natural curiosity! Aaron had been begging to do the ropes course and technically he is not old enough yet (you have to be four). Pretty close though. So with Nana there Tim figured he would be able to take him -so we rounded his age up ;)  Ian left Nana in his dust and ran through the course. Aaron was a little hesitant at first but warmed up fast. Now that is all we hear about....daily! This museum has easily become one of our favorite places in Utah County!

Next up the dinosaur museum!

There are apparently 13 gnomes hiding in this museum?! Well we found one of them! We were still pretty proud of ourselves.

Next stop the zoo!

Aaron's favorite thing to do at the zoo is ride the carousel. Ava decided she was not a fan anymore. She used to love it :( She was ok when she road with Aaron though.

 We ended up heading to the zoo without Ian. Thankfully Nana found him a spider monkey shirt and arrowhead necklace so he did not seem to mind at all. We have been to the zoo quite a few times this summer. When walking though the gift shop nana found a cute polar bear for Ava. A few minutes later Ava had pulled a fluffy white striped tiger from the shelf and was happily cuddling them both. In case you were not aware Ava loves all things white and fluffy! It was so cute we ended up getting the tiger for her. The tiger currently lives in her bed along with a few other white and fluffy animals.

 While daddy had fun having another person in the house that actually enjoys colorful food we were not big fans. We tried our best to put on a happy face (as Ian is showing) but we just had double helpings of dessert that night!

So Thursday night we headed to Food Truck Thursday. We have never been before but it is quite popular here in Utah County so we thought we would give it a try. We discovered a couple things... the food was delicious! The desserts were over priced and overrated. But the kids enjoyed the desserts.

That night was Nana's last night so we decided to tie dye some shirts. 

I'll be honest Tim and I were surprised how amazing the shirts turned out. By the time we started tie dying the shirts it was so dark outside you could not tell which colors you were using. As you can see they turned out great!

We are now the tie-dye family :) 

Thanks for visiting Nana- hopefully we will be seeing you again soon!
