Kemmerer

After an interesting drive though some seriously small, po-dunk towns like cokeville, we arrived in Kemmerer WY. Man there is nothing in that town but it sure was great to see my husband after a week without him! The kids were ecstatic! Chad had hidden some eggs with candy around the hotel room so they went to work finding eggs and eating more candy. 

 This was a highlight of the trip for them and thought it was pretty fun riding the luggage cart.

 The beds were so comfy and the room was really nice and spacious. The kids went swimming and then went right to sleep. I caught this cute one of the girls snuggling.

 We planned to attend church somewhere since it was Easter sunday and found a ward to attend that wasn't too early. Carter woke up with a flu bug but we ended up going anyway just planning to stay for sacrament. We walked in and could tell we were late....then realized it was STakE ConFereNce! Ugh. But there was only an hour left so we tried to make Carter as comfy as we could towards the back of the gym.

 It was hard to get any really good pictures of the kids since 1, carter wasnt feeling well and 2 we were in a hotel.

 Sunday selfie! The best we could do!

 I did get a new skirt and shirt for Easter and wanted a picture of it!

 After a little lunch (nasty) from the grocery store because it was the only place open in the whole town we headed out to a cool little fossil museum. (I was kind of paniking what we would do for dinner since the WHOLE town closes for this day. Luckily Pizza Hut opened at 4 so we could get a pizza for dinner.)

The museum happened to be out of power so the guide handed us some big flashlights and we took the tour in the dark. It was a little spooky! But very cool to see! They had lots of fish, bugs, etc but the coolest things were the turtles and the Alligators! We had a good time seeing these incredible pieces of nature.

 There was a path out back that had a timeline from when the earth was created to today and when certain animals inhabited the earth. It was interesting to see.

 Later that evening we also found this huge park that had so many fun toys! And many of the old toys that I used to play on as a kid that are now "too dangerous." This tire swing was a fav of the kids.

 I loved these covered bench swings! My grandma had a swing like this on her porch I think and I loved swinging in it with her as a little girl. So it brought back good memories!

We stayed sunday night but Chad had to go back to work on Monday so we got up and left monday morning to head back to Tooele. Chad still had a few days to finish out and the kids had to get back to school. But it was a fun busy weekend and we put lots of miles on the car!
