Happy Valley

So our spring break consisted of Mandy and the boys having mostly hanging at home or with some friends. So today we decided to head down south to Happy Valley. Alex dubbed it enemy territory and even wore his Utes hat and watch to deflect the blue. Definitely one of my proudest moments as a father. We first went to Cabela's. Holy moly, (official Utah County slang) that store has just about anything a gun toting, outdoorsman, fisherman, boatman might need. Alex had his first bison burger, only after I talked him out of pizza, but he loved it. Both boys loved the mountain of animals.

And the big game room

After we went over to Thanksgiving Point to the Dino Museum. That was fetching cool (slang again). Me being the eternal cheapskate was appalled at the prices to get in but it was worth the admission. We paid the extra $20 and saw a movie on the Unseen World we live in. It talked about science and how it lets us see the really small, fast, slow and invisible world around us. It was fun but the whole time I'm thinking, "How cool would Captain America be on this screen?" 

It wasn't in 3D, we just love our new sunglasses..

The rest of the museum was very well done. Lots of interactive exhibits that let them get hands on. Full size Diplodicus and Supersaurous was a huge hit (pun intended). 

For those in our GFA family, yes that is a notebook Alex is carrying around to take notes in. He has been taught well. They have full size replicas of all different sort of sea Dino's that I have never heard of, much less spell. Their were wolly mammoths and meglodon sharks. You could even dig in the sand for plastic dinos but no way they were doing that and getting back in the car. Sorry I know joy kill. 

All things being equal today was worth venturing into Happy Valley.
