Since it didn't take us long to explore the Art Museum, Natalie suggested that we check out the Science Center.
You can't go to the BYU campus without visiting the Dress-Code-Violating Indian.
We took advantage of air conditioning when we could and explored some interesting buildings.
And, we took advantage of cool water and visited a fountain. (Don't turn us in to BYU Police, but some of the kids fished out money for wishes when our change stash ran out. But, they did throw them back in - does that make it better?)
You really can't make it through BYU campus without riding in a few elevators. And, what fun would riding in an elevator be if not for the jumping?
After standing next to the immodest Indian, we had to redeem ourselves and pose next to good ol' Brigham.
Right at the feet of the Brigham Young statue is a perfectly tempting hill for rolling. Sorry, Natalie, I just had to be sure it was documented for all to see that you actually rolled down the hill. Me and my stomach were too chicken. Ah, to be young again.
After a hot day romping around campus, we stopped at the Creamery for some ice cream and fries. What a lot of hot, hungry kids we had.
Who knew you could have so much fun at a college campus. It sure has changed a lot in the past 12 years since I've been a student or worked there. Maybe I planted some seeds of interest to inspire my boys to want to go there. Actually, when Jayden heard that you have to get good grades to make it into BYU, he said he'd rather go to another university that doesn't care about that. So much for high expectations. (I made sure to have a good discussion with him about college and his future career - not to worry.)

Oh man I haven't rolled down a hill in years. There is a reason for that...I wanted to hurl afterwards! :) I guess that wasn't smart of us to roll the kids down the hill and then shove fries and ice cream into their bellies. :) It was a fun "excursion" and I've never been to the campus looking for ways to entertain kids. It's amazing what there is to do. I love the picture of Cameron's head! That was the funniest thing to watch. And the staircase picture turned out awesome. Okay, sorry for the long comment. That is all.
I love it! What a fun day.
We loved the "I Spy" exhibit. We went the day it opened and got to listen to the artist/photographer talk to kids about his pictures and how he created them. He was really good. We love the creamery, too. My favorite pictures are the one of Cameron's head and the spiral staircase. I was trying to figure out which building that was in--still not sure. What a fun day!
That looks like so much fun! I love that Natalie rolled down the hill!!!
The comment about the "contraband" cracked me up...it reminded me of Laurel! You ARE sisters!!
"Mom and Camera", the spiral staircase is in the new building that took the place of the SFLC -I'm not sure if they gave it a new name or not. Very nice building!
And, Tara, yes I'm sure the word "contraband" exists in my vocabulary because of my older sister. She's a crack up, isn't she?
