Natural History Museum of Utah

Today we headed to SLC to visit the new Natural History Museum of Utah. We were anxious to see the spectacular new building, but we also wanted to see Uncle Tony's collection on display in its new home. We were not disappointed. The building is impressive with interesting large-scale, sculptural spaces and there were many of Tony's pieces on display. We returned home to a wonderful expanded-compound dinner prepared and hosted at our house by Colton and Millie. What a great day!

I think they all had a good time

Kris is back at work tomorrow, I am back in school on Wednesday, the Hastings head home that same day, and Katy and Daniel are off to Houston on Thursday.

That's all for now.
