Check...

It has been a couple of weeks since I have posted. Life has been a little crazy here, and only going to get crazier in the months to come!

Daniel has a TO DO list of things he wants to see and do before we move to Boise. Yesterday we checked an item off! We went to the Salt Lake City Public Library. (Next on our list is the Bingham Canyon Mine, and a Historic Farm in Salt Lake !)

The car ride over there started off with a weird noise once we hit seventy on the freeway. I keep looking around to see if it was coming from the inside of the car, when suddenly something caught my attention.



Daniel left the redbox movie underneath the windshield wiper.
He had forgot his keys in the house and left it there for "safe" keeping as he ran inside to get them.
Luckily it did not blow away and we took the next exist so we could "safely" put it in our car!

These are some pictures I found online of the Salt Lake City Library. IT IS HUGE!


 In the above picture, underneath the canopies is where the children's library is located. The have little couches, desk and beanbags for the kids to set on. And of course a room full of children's books, cassettes, Cd's and Movies! There was so much to look at in the children's library we did even make it to other parts of the library to see what they had to offer!!. 

If you happen to be in Salt Lake City, I would say it is a must see!

Here are some pictures I captured inside the library with my own camera... Just of the kids.

Owen going for the stairs, in the Crystal Room.





Derrick, who was looking at Star Wars books said the Crystal Room reminded him of were Luke Skywaker was taken...Then he said it was actually were Superman got his powers...LOVE THAT KID.






(No she is not picking her nose!)

There was also another room (sadly I did not get any pictures), that was called the ATTIC. It reminded me of a tree house... They also had a contest going on with LEGO's, which were displayed in cases through out the Library (again I did not take any pictures). Daniel was going to get a library card, but it cost $20.25...And since we do not plan to be here very much longer we decided against it. Oh well, the kids had fun and loved riding in the glass elevator. They even got a frozen lemonade on the way out!!

We also thought we might take some family pictures, but it was TOO cold. This was the only one of the kids we caught together and Riley is crying because she wants to put her coat back on. Derrick is trying to get Owen to smile and look at the camera!

Here is a picture I captured of our sweet Owen!

Riley LOVES watching movies in the car...


She also LOVES her pink rain boots.


We ended our day going out for an early dinner at Famous Dave's Bar-b-Que! Delicious!!!
Can't wait until next Saturaday to see what my husband has planned!!

  1. The Copper Mines are AWESOME! You'll get some great pictures with the kiddos and Derrick will LOVE the huge trucks and tires.

    If you haven't, put Thanksgiving Point on your list. Also, have you guys been able to go through a session in the Salt Lake Temple? I hope so. Maybe drive to get a family picture in front of all the other Temples in the valley too.
