Cox Reunion - August 2013

Cox Reunion 2013 - We did a staycation type reunion.  We stayed in a hotel out by the airport and got the Salt Lake City ultimate tour pass.  We went to The Hoogle Zoo, The Museum of Natural History, The Leonardo, Hansen Plantitarium, Discovery Gateway and a private tour of the State Capital.  It was fun to spend time with family.  I am not huge into museums but my kids loved Discovery Gateway and the Zoo so they were happy.  I also enjoyed seeing the Capital.  We also went on a tour of the LDS Humanitarian place that was pretty cool and informative.

Swimming at the hotel is always a highlight for the kids.

I love when Lexie swims with her cousins, it forces her to be a little more brave than she normally would be.

The giraffes are the only thing Brynnlee really wanted to see.  I am pretty sure we spent more time watching them just stand there than we did anything else.  Brynnlee was ok with that though. 

Kids trying to hide in the Capital.

It is awesome to get a little behind the scenes looks (thanks to Spencer and Mike).  We were able to meet and ask questions to The Speaker of the House.  We got to sit in Mike and Spencers' chairs and see their offices.

Bs and Marley are pretty much inseparable.

All (most) of the kids on the House floor.

A couple of tuckered out kids.

She may have spent the entire time at the water station.

At the Leonardo Bs was the only one who wanted to make the crafts, she did awesome.  All the kids were jealous after they saw hers and wanted to make their own but it was too late.

We sent all the kids in the elevated with Tori (poor Tori).

Bs almost touched the tarantula.

Lexie held the roaches.

The best thing at the Natural History Museum was this sand and water pond.  The kids played in it for about 30 minutes and then we were asked to move on.

Lexie ran around the zoo with Marley, Payton and Cambree.
