Visiting the Bean Museum

While Aaron took a test the boys and I went to the Bean Museum on BYU campus. Randy and Jay met us there and when Aaron was finished with his test, we went to Brick Oven for lunch. Afterward we were able to go to Vernal for a relaxing weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Wilson.
I love the displays of the bugs. On the wall to the left of this display is a 4x5 foot display of butterflies of all shapes, sizes, and colors all arranged into a larger butterfly.

Adon and Collin loved this little nook in the museum because there were buttons that would make a narrator start to speak and lights to go on and off in different sections. Behind Adon in this picture was a bear from Alaska (one that Rachel has been wanting to see). The bear is standing upright and reaches to the ceiling. It is HUGE and I would never, ever want to cross its path.


Adon loves all the animals. He really liked these bug displays because they were just his size. He could get really close to the display.



Adon loved the animals upstairs. He was very interested in the yawning hippo. Even though Collin was with us he wouldn't hold still long enough for me to take a photo. He was in heaven to see all these animals so up close.

Looks like a good time. But for the record, I'd much rather see the bear in a museum (Brent's a different story lol)
