[/caption]December 10th was our 3rd Wedding Anniversary. We decided to spend it celebrating as a family. We were in Lehi for the weekend, so we decided to go to The Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. It was so much fun!!!! We spent hours and hours walking around staring at all the amazing fossils in complete awe. Mireya LOVED every bit of it. For the first 30 minutes, she was as excited about all the other kids as she was the actual fossils. She was shy and nervous being around so many people, but once she warmed up, she ran around screaming in delight. It was so funny to see her that excited and silly!
There were a lot of fossils and other things that you could interact with directly.

[/caption]Mireya was so excited and she would run from one dinosaur fossil to the next pointing and saying, "Wow! Oooooo... Wow!" We know that she is still very young, and she probably won't remember the museum when she is older, but it was something that neither of us will ever forget. They joy on her little face as she went through the museum was priceless.
