Butterfly Museum
Most of the kids had a great time at the butterfly museum. However, Nova was deathly afraid of butterflies.  There was nothing I could say that would help her see that they were harmless.  It was quite frustrating, especially since we've read her the Adam Rubin book about the "Big Bad Bubble" where one of the characters has an irrational fear of not only bubbles, but also butterflies. 






Timpanogos Cave
Tara, Zade, Ryzen, Everest, and I hiked up to the cave and had fun exploring it. 










Debenham Family Reunion
Aria and uncle Stephen had fun competing in the water competition.
