I should have known when it took me an hour to "buy" our free tickets online to the Natural History Museum of Utah, that it was going to be crowded. Apparently every other mom in Northern Utah had the same idea I did. Take the kids to do something free and potentially educational.
We saw more bugs and butterflies than I thought possible. We "roarrrred" at dinosaur bones, created wind, saw how earthquakes break apart the earth, put together puzzles of the cells in our bodies, played in the "backyard" with bug catchers, made Native American good luck animals, and searched for dinosaur bones outside (all while avoiding the rattlesnakes... there were warning signs everywhere). But I think the highlight of the trip for the kids was eating crackers in their cafe area and riding the shuttle bus from the parking lot to the museum. With that highlight, it's a good thing I didn't pay a dime to get in!
