Utah Day 2: The Bird Refuge

On our second day we headed to the Bird refuge in Brigham City.  We stopped at the visitors center and let our wild and crazy crew loose.  We had Gina, Kirk and their family in a car, Mom, Dad, Debbie and her kids in a car, and then Cindy and her kids and Me and my kids in a car.  We were quite a group entering that visitors center, but the kids were pretty good.  They had lots of interesting things for the kids to do at the visitors center.  They enjoyed it and we had to drag them away.

My mom came upon this adorable conversation between my 17 year old nephew and my two year old daughter.  Too cute!  Summer decided to also join in the conversation at the end.

After the visitors center we headed out to the actual refuge.  It was WAY out there, but we saw some great birds.  There were some pretty cool birds.  We also had bees that would land on the windows and just stick there.  The kids were freaking out!  So Cindy told them to study the bees and that got them really interested in looking at what the bee actually looks like.  Shaylee ended up writing a story about the bees when we got back home.  She cracks me up.  Our car got a little wild.  We had Jillian, Maycee, Kenyon, Annika, Jaron and Shaylee in our car and Jillian and Maycee we found out do not do well in the car together.  I actually had a laughing attack while driving because our car was just pure mayhem.  I had to stop the car, so I could get control of myself.  I think Cindy and the kids all thought I had gone nuts.  Anyway, we had a great time.

Once we wound our way around the refuge we headed into Brigham City to the new temple there.  It reminded me of a mini white Salt Lake temple.  It was beautiful and it had a gorgeous tabernacle across the street from it.  From there we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's.  We had a very fun day.

Brigham City temple.  It is so beautiful!
