Church History Museum

Since we hadn't had Family Home Evening yet this week, I thought we should take the boys to the Church History Museum and meet our friends, Christine and Mike, there.  The museum has this exhibit on display, for the rest of the year, geared towards children to help them understand the Book of Mormon.  The displays are nice because the children actually get to play on/with them.  The first one was of the ship Nephi help build.  They got to "fish" off of it as well as look at some remakes of the golden plates.

But even the adults had a hard time lifting these heavy things :)

There was different things to entertain the kids but Christine and I ended up entertaining ourselves :) Since the people of the Book of Mormon lived in the Americas there was a Latin America display of their culture.  You got to dress up in their native dance clothes while watching a screen that showed you how they dance.  We danced in front of a large mirror so we could see what we were doing, not really paying attention to everyone around us.....until we looked over and saw all these adults watching us!  Hehehehehehe.....

Brigham with his namesake, Brigham Young.  After taking this picture Hyrum said, "Where is Hyrum Young?"  He wanted me to take a picture of him with his namesake.  He is so cute.....even if he got the name wrong!

I am not a fan of cities.  I never have been but it always amazes me how you can be in downtown Salt Lake City, on temple grounds and actually feel like you are in your own little world.  The car sounds drown out and it is peaceful.
