Utah Capitol Building

I was looking for things to keep the kids busy while off track and came across a suggestion of doing a tour of the capitol. Not sure my kids would get a ton from it, but thought it would be good exposure for the kids and camera ;) A couple of other families decided to join me.  Since the tour wasn't until one, Sister and I went to the the Church History Museum.  The kids enjoy talking about the different historical objects and love the part that is geared toward children.  Then we had a picnic outside of the capitol.  Other sister called on her way up and said her son didn't have shoes, which I loved because the day before Sister and I were going to go on the Sweet's Candy Factory Tour but wasn't able to because we didn't know about the closed toed shoes rules. (Note: we still bought yummy candy ...the best part of the tour... and then we went to a park Sister helped build so it was still a wonderful day). Anyway, I had #4 Boy's shoes and #2 Boy's sandals in the car so cousin was able to borrow those!  I can say I learned a few things on this tour.
