Utah- day 3

Kosty and the "hair rubber"

After breakfast, we went to Denny's Wigwam, a tourist shop. It had a ton of animals that were stuffed hanging on the walls and just statues of them. Brayden, being the animal lover he is, had a hard time with that one! He said, "did they really kill these animals just to hang on the wall?" I had to tell him that those animals were surely dead long before, and they just decided to stuff them and hang them so they could remember how beautiful they were ;) He took that better. The kids were each allowed to pick one souvenir, Brayden picked a fancy rock collection, and Kosty picked an overpriced rubber snake.




















Kosty thought this chair looked a lot like "the Scream Extractor" from Monsters, Inc. (one of his favorites)

I thought it would make an awesome "Naughty Chair."




Later we went to have another Thanksgiving/family reunion with the Judd's side (Jer's moms family). There was a lot of down time and the kids had a blast playing outside for hours. The weather was beautiful that day because it finally stopped raining! Everyone surprised Grandpa Judd with a new recliner for his birthday. Oh, and they had a talent show. Kosty was happy to oblige with his dancing skills yet again. He kept going and going. This kid is hilarious because he is the shy-est kid in the world, and wouldn't talk to anyone, but yet he never even hesitated to break down at any given time in front of everyone!

After some swimming in the hotel pool, the kids were thrilled to see that "The Elves" had made a visit to our hotel room, and left a note and some gifts on their bed!
