Cousin Chase Visiting from California

We had so much fun when Dallas, Valerie, and Chase came to visit Utah! Chase is such a sweet boy with a lot of personality hidden inside. We visited the Monte L. Bean Museum on BYU campus. It's a museum full of stuffed animals. Lions, tigers, bears, all kinds of birds, beetles, butterflies, hippo's, rhinoceros, fish, sharks, deer, big horned sheep, and many more animals. The kids were so excited, the only good shots I got were them lined up in front of a mural and watching the live reptile show. We got to see a hinged shell turtle walk on the floor, I think it was a desert gecko climb down a woman's leg, and a boa snake slither and flick his tongue. The kids were able to pet all the reptiles. The kids also loved the play room that had a big blue truck, building blocks, and toy animals. After the museum we went to Tyler's house for lunch and to just play with the toys. Chase liked the puzzles, and Traven loves the trucks and diggers and garbage truck. Chase was so nice to have Tyler and Traven over to swim in the hotel pool and hot tub. Traven loves the pool and jumps right in. Tyler loved standing on the side throwing a beach ball to someone in the pool. and Chase loved the warm hot tub and swiming with his dad.
