Went somewhere "fun"

While Brent's Mom, Carol (aka Mimi), was out visiting last month, Brenna requested we go somewhere "fun". This is a standard request, since all of her toys at home are "sooooo boring". We don't always oblige the "go somewhere fun" request, since "fun" ususally equals "money". We wanted to show Carol around downtown and she wanted to shop for souvenirs, so we packed up all the baby stuff we could think of and headed to the Discovery Gateway, Salt Lake City's children's museum. Brenna had lots of fun playing in the child-sized playhouse, grocery store, farm and water activity center. Austin was a trooper and snoozed in the Baby Bjorn carrier.

On the trip downtown, we stopped in at Polly's work for a little lunch with her co-workers. We meant to see Temple Square, but Brenna was so anxious to get to the "fun" that we totally forgot. (We did end up taking a quick trip to Temple Square on the way to the airport though.) On the way back to Herriman (aka Arizona), we stopped in at Carmax to see Brent and visit with this co-hearts in car crime. Carol enjoyed getting to see where we both spend our days and meet the folks we work with.

It was a pretty long day, and even though we packed 6 diapers and 4 outfits, we managed to run out of everything and had to stop at Walmart for an emergency replenishment of diapers. Thank goodness Austin doesn't go through the diapers like that anymore. Brent was considering taking on a second job to fund his diaper habit!

Here are a few pictures of Brenna having fun at the museum and a few pictures of our visit to Temple Square. We happened to run into Aaron, Brent's co-worker, at the square and he took the group photo for us...small world.
