Ralph and Betty Ann: Awesome fun for all!

This trip has been a blast! Today we went to the library to make Harry Potter buttons... and bookmarks! They had this interesting button maker thing where you put a piece of paper, a metal base and pin, and a plastic piece. You press down the lever thingy until it clicks. Then you switch another lever and press down again. Then voila! You have a button.
With the bookmarks, all you do is decide which pictures you want on your bookmark. Then you simply glue the pictures onto the base paper and laminate them. Now I can fully appreciate dad having us cut out the papers at the school way back when. :)
A.J. won a drawing as well! At the library they had a drawing for either a T-shirt, a poster, a hat, or a fridge magnet. A.J. chose the poster.
After the library, we went to the park for free lunch. Today they had burritos, chips, milk, carrots, and a plum. Delish, as A.J. says.
Once lunch was over, we went to the church museum. The boys really enjoyed the Book of Mormon display. They could interact with Nephi's ship and everything. A.J.'s favorite thing was the Brother of Jared maze on the computer. Typical. I just enjoyed watching them have fun.
After the museum, we went to the temple and walked around it. Then we took a tour of the conference center. The view on the roof was amazing! The tour guide told us about where President Monsen usually sits in the auditorium. It was in the very front row. A.J. sat in all of them, just to make sure he had sat where the president of our church sat.
Next we came home... but not for long. We quickly put on our swimming suits and went to Seven Peaks. (The water park previously known as Raging Waters.) We rented some tubes and parted ways. A.J. and I went together and Tanner and Geremy went with Grandma and Grandpa. A.J. and I went to the tidal wave first. We were there for two rounds of waves. Next we went to the teal colored slide. Then the lavender one. Then the orange slide. Then I went back to where our stuff was and noticed my camera was missing. We went to the lazy river with hopes that Grandma was there and had it. After we went around twice, we left and decided to just walk around for a while, hoping to see them. Finally, we did. Grandma said that it had been in the locker the whole time. At least it was safe. Then we went on the three slides that were next to each other. The yellow, blue and green slides. They were fun. Next we went to the tidal wave again... we spent a lot of time there. Then it was time for dinner.
After dinner A.J. and I took Tanner to the teal slide. He fell of his tube the first time. When we went back up for a second round, we checked his height. He was just over the right size. About 49 inches tall. So we decided to take him on the teal one a second time. He did perfectly. Next we took him to the yellow slide, which he hadn't been on yet either. (It didn't permit you to take passengers on it. He had gone down with either Grandma or Grandpa on all the other slides.) He did a fabulous job with it. Since this slide was a smaller version of the lavender one, we thought he would be just fine on it.
He did. It was fun to see how proud of himself he was.
That was the last thing we did there. It was time to go. So here I am now, enjoying typing this entry. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my blog entry concerning day three of our trip in Salt Lake.
