Kyle's in Town

Kyle flew in yesterday for a weekend visit. He is going to be staying with us for a few days. He said he really needed a break from the snow in Rexburg, but I think he really needed a vacation from his job at Meleuka.

Last night we went to a children's museum. He had a lot of hands on activites for the kids to learn about science, history, math (basically all the subjects that you didn't like in school). There were a lot of people there and it was fun.
Face Painting: The kids were able to paint their own faces in celebration of chinese luner year. I was suprised when the paint came of with just water. They have come a long way with face paint. I remember scrubbing my face until it was red and then lettting it ware off after a couple of days

Fishing: Kids were able to take fishing nets and collect as many fish as they could. Then they were supposed to count them, but we never got that far before Mya wanted to go to the next exibit.
Play: This was set up as a theater with stuffed animals that the kids could make up and act out their own plays.
Milking the Cow: Us city folks get plastic cows to milk. There was water that came out of the cow instead of milk too.


Chickens: Live chickens that the kids could look at in an exhibit about eggs.
Lego's: You were supposed to count the lego's but most of the kids ended up throwing them instead.

You are so lucky to be in an area where you have the opportunity to take your children to so many places. I am hoping St. George has some fun stuff, if not Vegas is only a two hour drive!
