wilderness museum

this past weekend we went down to St. George. we had a great time:)

we went to this great wilderness Museum, all of the animals in the museum were either donated from zoo's or different wildlife organizations - the animals died from natural causes.

this is a quote that I first heard from my sweet sister Audrey Lynn.

Mara thought the animals were great- though she did get a little scared when the bears"growled" on the overhead speaker.

the scary bear

Jackson also thought it was great

the bears, this is about a minute before Mara got scared

Mara is not scared she just wants to go on the elevator :( Jonah got mad at her

downstairs they had this insect room-

look at these gross HUGE ants

Jackson looks a little strange but happy:)

now those are some big scorpions

this bat is uuuugggllyyyy

those are the coolest looking beatles I have ever seen- I am glad that I have not seen any of these outside of a display box

my sweet little kiddos
