Here is the fun from the rest of our spring vacation to Ogden.
The biggest reason we went to Ogden was the Dinosaur Museum. Jake and Derek had so much fun. Jake was quick to inform us that they where not real, but he seemed so fascinated by the large models of the dinosaurs.
This is Jake's impersonation of a t-rex. Short little arms, two fingers, and don't forget the scrunched up grumpy face!
It is almost like Jake is saying " Yea, I am touching a real dinosaur skull". He had a fun time at the museum.
Derek was hilarious, He was fascinated by the sculptures. Even when Dan lifted him up, as if he was feeding him to this ferocious creature. It seemed as though he was content in simply getting a close look at his teeth.
It is a
super scary creature, it looks so ferocious! grrrrr! :)
Random Steakhouse -
When my Sister-in-Law Julie found out we where going to Ogden she said we had to go to this steakhouse. She said Quin absolutely loves it and tries to come up with reasons to go to Ogden to eat there.
What she didn't tell us is about the weird decor. Their where four fabulous bathtubs filled with PEZ candy dispensers and other little gadgets, stuffed and mounted game animals, creepy old manican people and mining tools. Oh yea, a man-made river with waterfall was in the middle .
The sad/nice part was Jake was SO tired from the museum that he was completely asleep. Derek on the other hand was full of energy!
Ogden Train Museum -
We also went to the train museum in Ogden. I think this was a highlight for Jake. He isn't a huge fan of Thomas the Train or Chuggington but boy does he like trains
He was determined to make this train move, it was super cute to watch him try, after he got tired of trying we went and played with the little trains.
Jake had Dan hold him up all the way through the model train exhibit. He wanted the best view possible.
Jake really wanted to have a smashed penny with a train on it, so I said sure. The only catch was that he had to use his strength to squish it. One of the best parts of the museum.
The farm is one of the kids favorite places to go. I grab allergy medicine and the kids grab some fruit snacks....
Jake's favorite animals to feed are the goats. Derek was even was willing to feed them. The minute the sheep and lamas would come over to get a snack Jake would move to another pen. Those lama's are feisty!
Derek's favorite animal is the cow. I think it boils down to three reasons. 1 - they move slowly or not at all 2- they are big 3- he can say OOO which is his word for cow.
Jake loves riding on the horses.
It is the season for baby animals! They had quite a few babies and had people there helping us pet them and talking about the animals. 
Jake has learned that if you feed chickens from above, they don't peck your fingers. I asked him why he wanted to feed the chickens if he didn't want to have them get close or eat it from his hand. He said that all animals where hungry and that chickens need their space. 
Derek got grumpy while we where there. We even took a snack break. That didn't even help, he was determined to stay upset. But his grumpy face is so cute!
