Tracy Aviary and More

 We had a busy day on Monday.  We went lots of places.  In the morning we started out going to Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candy tour.  It was pretty cool seeing the stuff, but the best part was sampling the chocolates.  We also got some ice cream while there so we had a sugar overload.

After that we went to the Church History Museum.   Tean thought this boat was pretty cool, but he didn't want his picture taken.

Inside here is how the inside of a ship would be if you slept there.  Pretty small quarters!

 Ziah's face is so funny!  It is like he is saying, "Help!  Please!"

 There was a cool children's part in the Museum.  Tean loved playing with all the stuff.  There were lots of kids there so it was a little crazy and some of the kids were kind of pushy and not very nice, but Tean still had fun.  He got to build

Tean also loved the fishing.  He finally got the hang of it and caught quite a bit of fish.

After the Church History Museum we went to the Beehive House.  I had been there a lot when I was younger because my mom used to be a tour guide there.  I would sometimes go down with her, go on a tour and then go walk around the mall.  Jake had never been there so we decided to go.  It has changed a little bit.  Sister missionaries now give the tours.  I had also told Tean that he would get a piece a candy there and they didn't give one out like they used to.  He was sad about that.

After the Beehive House, we went to Tracy Aviary.  We got in free there with our Pocatello Zoo pass!  You can't really see the birds that Tean is standing in front of, but these Kea birds were pretty cool.  They would pick up bottles in their cage and throw them around and play with them.

Tean liked looking through the "owl eyes" so he could see the owls up close.

Tean liked chasing after the peacock.  While over there Jake and Tean found a trap with a raccoon or some small animal in.

Tean loved having his picture taken in here.

He had to have it taken in each hole.

After visiting Tracy Aviary we met some friends in Liberty Park and they were nice enough to let Tean use some of their tickets and ride some rides.

Tean loved riding in the cars, especially the Batman car.

After riding on the rides we went over to the playground.  Tean had fun blowing up this balloon toy and then letting it go.  While we were there a lady came up to us and asked us if we wanted to be interviewed on T.V. for a bottle of cold water.  We said sure.  It was for channel 30 and she asked us what we would do for a Scooby snack.  Before she started filming she asked us if we could name all of the Scooby characters, and we couldn't.  We needed help.  So she told us all of them and then she started filming and we were supposed to name them.  We still got one wrong, but she still gave us the water.

After hanging out with our friends for a bit, we headed back to Layton where we met one of my friends from high school for dinner.  I hadn't seen her since my wedding.  It was nice to catch up and we had a lot of fun.  The restaurant had great food, but was SLOW.  Not really a place to bring kids.  After we were outside chatting and our kids were off playing.  We looked over and her little girl peed her pants a little bit.  After she peed, she bent down to see and kept peeing, filling up her shoe and making a puddle on the ground.  Then she showed it to Tean.  It was pretty funny.

We had a long, enjoyable day together!
