Monte L. Bean Museum, Provo, UT

Owl Moth Butterfly

Here, Erin is showing Gavin and Elisabeth how this butterfly uses a unique kind of camouflage.




Taxidermy

This museum is named after a guy who apparently loved to hunt! We saw so many animals!





Top of the World!

Near the "Bell Tower" of BYU, there is this stream with a man-made waterfall. Logan declared victory once he climbed to the top.








Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

I remember one night at BYU years ago, scientists were collecting bugs at night in front of the museum. They would shine a huge light into the dark sky and capture whatever they could in a large net.

Swimming Lessons

The kids took their first swimming lessons this summer. Fairmont Aquatic Center in Sugarhouse has a very fun indoor pool. Although Gavin had some hard times adjusting, he ultimately learned quickly and began enjoying swimming. He and Logan were able to "move up" to the next level! Elisabeth just needs to work on her back float some more.
