This Is The Place

Yesterday Kai and I went to the Denitst. Kai has been before, but they had just counted his teeth. This time they did the whole deal- cleaning, x-rays etc. He was a bit nervous about it beforehand, so I was shocked when he went in the little cubicle next to mine all by himself with the hygentist. I could hear the little conversation they were having and it was so cute. He did super the entire time and was so excited at the end when he got a Cars toothbrush and got to pick a toy from the prize chest. Grandma Utah watched Rori for us and claimed that she didn't cry the whole time. We have been going through a severe case of separation anxiety lately so that is big.

Afterwards we made a quick trip to This Is The Place. It is across from the Zoo so it is super close and yesterday it was free. It is a place where you can learn about pioneer and Native American history. We met up with Kai's buddy Drew so he was in heaven. We rode the train twice, ate our lunch on the grass, checked out some of the exhibits and animals, and enjoyed our free ice cream cones. We only did about 10% of the things they had going on, but it was enough to get a feel for it all. Plus just as I was putting the stroller in the car as we were leaving the BLACK clouds that had been threatening the entire time finally came pouring down.

We have been having so much rain- every weather forecast for the past few weeks has had rain clouds for some time everyday. It has been wonderful for out water and air conditioning bills. Truthfully we actually really like it, but next week our true summer activites begin and they would really be so much better without rain. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for some sunshine. Soon it will be HOT though and we'll be wishing for rain. So it goes.
