This past weekend before we met up with Andy in Park City I took the kids to some fun places in Provo. We started out with a trip to Macey's grocery store where I bought many of my groceries while a student at BYU. I remember thinking that store was really great and was happy to find it wasn't all that much better than the local grocery store I now shop from (Boise grocery stores were REALLY good). We got some bagels, carrots, strawberries, and some Utah Truffle bars conveniently places for compulsive buyers by the checkout stand. Then we walked over to the Provo River which passes right by the grocery store. It was so beautiful! Everything was really green, the water was really high, it was shady and pleasant to walk, and there were flowers. I have so many good memories along the Provo River. Actually some of my best memories of our marriage were along the Provo River so I guess it's only fitting that I take Caleb and Annika there. Maybe someday I'll share that with them if it seems appropriate. It was so fun to be nastolgic in Provo, shopping at Macey's, walking along the Provo River. We stopped to have a picnic at a picnic table by Branbary apartments. (They had a bad reputation when I went there but I have no memories of the apartments other than running or biking by them.) We could see Squaw Peak from our picnic spot. It was just a wonderful and lovely picnic and I had such a good time with the kids.
Caleb wanted to take some pictures so the following are his:
Obviously the garbage/lawn man is picture worthy

After our nice picnic we headed over to the small dinosaur museum that BYU has in connection with it's paleontology program. It was a really nice museum even though it was pretty small. Back in the '60 a professor really did a great job and made the paleontology program at BYU one of the best programs. He collected all sorts of fossils. I unfortunately don't remember his name other than 'Dinosaur Jim' and am too lazy at the moment to look it up. Caleb was so excited to go to the museum and Annika is excited to go anywhere. :)
They have a place where you can watch the students at work on cleaning fossils.
Annika favorites were the ones she could touch:
Oh, I forgot to add these videos:

I think Caleb has his grandpa's photography skills.
