We met up with all the Waterhouses in Salt Lake City for the first weekend of Spring Break. The kids were excited to see Andy and Jenn’s house (“we’ve never been there!” they whine at me every other day). I also wanted them to see some church history sights, and it’s always great to get the family together. It was rainy all weekend but we managed to stay mostly dry.
We walked through Temple Square and looked at the remodeled Church History Museum. It’s quite different than the one I remember! The kids enjoyed the treasure hunt for different watches throughout the exhibits. There was also an art exhibit that had some absolutely wonderful works.
Waffles and frites for elevenses.
I have a lot of pictures from our visit to Dreamscapes. It’s a walk-through interactive art exhibit. The kids loved it!

Giant Ball Pit!!!
We braved heavy rains, and then thick snow, to get to the natural history museum on the University of Utah campus. They had an excellent dinosaur display.
Ben and I and Amanda had some quiet time in the afternoon, but grandparents were going strong. They took the kids to Tracy Aviary, with a special tour by Jenn who used to work there. They talked about the birds the whole way home, it must have been a great visit!
Our last night we had dinner at the Arndt’s home. Martha arranged to have all us Waterhouses and Masons, plus the whole Arndt family, and most of the Cook family clan too! We haven’t had such a large group of Cook family descendants together for a long time. I saw Martha snapping pictures, you’ll have to check with her for the evidence 🙂
