Alex wanted to go eat lunch at Tsing Tao, our favorite Chinese restaurant. (If you haven't eaten there, you're really missing out. It's in Payson - so it may seem a bit out of the way but you won't be disappointed). I think the main reason he wanted to go there was to try out his 'chopstick helper' - a little plastic holder that you put at the top of the chopsticks that acts like a sort of spring to make it easier to use. At any rate, the food was nummy!
Next, we went to Toys 'R Us, where the boys wanted to spend their money that they had been saving. Alex brought all of his money but Nathan only brought part of it - to ensure that he wouldn't spend it all. They both picked out a Lego set - Alex got a Star Wars ship and Nathan got an Atlantis robot shark.
Then, we went to the dinosaur museum. The boys wanted to go through the museum and see a movie in the 3D (like Imax) theatre. So, we went through the exibhit halls - rather quickly, though. I think the boys were excited to go look around at the gift shop. They did stop and play in the sand pit at the end - and even made a friend. They were telling him all about their video games and he was telling them about his. Then we went to the gift shop and the boys both used some of their leftover money to get a sucker - and Nathan got a crystal growing kit. To finish the day off, we saw a movie about dinosaurs in 3D.

What a great dad, Todd! How did the Dinosaur Snore thing go, anyway? (Was that what it was called?) You guys probably have every inch of that museum memorized! :)
sure looks like you guys had fun.
Love,
Dad
