Price

Now that it's been 4 months I think I should update on the blog about the move.  February 1st we moved to a remote, tiny, old coal mining town called Price Utah.  Vern got a promotion and is now head of the business department here for CEU-USU Eastern.  Although I miss my old life in Logan I have to admit it hasn't been too horrible.  Other things in my life were stressful around the time of the move which was making this move harder then it should have been.  I really miss my clients and the relationships I had with them.  And my sister and her family.  But Price itself isn't too bad. I really like my ward here, everyone has been really nice.  I am now serving with the Sunbeams and Activity Days.

  Here are a few things we have enjoyed so far. I appologize that this post is so long but I just wanted to play catch up.

At Elsie's new school they are the Castle Heights Knights.  This knight is in the library.

 This Giant Knight is at the entrance of the school.  It's pretty cool.

 Here we are having lunch with Elsie.  She didn't have all day Kindergarten in Logan so she didn't get to eat school lunch yet.  She loved it!

Next thing we have really loved is the Prehistoric Museum.  Since Vern works for the college we can go there for free and we are there a lot since Gwen LOVES Dinosaurs.  We brought my niece and nephew there while they were here.

 Mammoth

 Allosaurus

 All of these dinosaurs were found around the Utah area. 

 The Native American section is all the artifacts found around the Price area. 

The girls love to come here and talk to the paleontologists and ask questions.  I guess I don't have a picture of them but they have a alligator, sea turtle and monitor lizard.  The Museum let people watch feed them, it's pretty cool but my girls got sad to see the baby mice die.

Wave Pool

I guess I only have video of the wave pool but we bought an annual pass so we are here all the time.  Well, I should say we used to be they took the winter dome off so now we have to pay attention to the weather, which has been windy lately.  In Logan we went swimming once a week at the college for free and we are going swimming here about as often.  Elsie is an excellent swimmer.

The inside has a climbing wall the girls have fun with.

Last weekend we took a trip to the dinosaur quarry.  11 different species of dinosaurs have been found that this particular quarry.  46 Allosaurus' have been found in this quarry.  The Allosaurus is the one behind my family.

 There were paleontologist from Wisconsin studying a new bone.  They explained how the plaster works and how they preserve the bones, prints. eggs etc.
