The Children's Museum

I am doing my child development internship this semester. For my internship I am in charge of the Rexburg Children's Museum. The Children's Museum is just a large room that is located in the basement of the Rexburg Tabernacle and it is part of the Teton Flood Museum. For my internship I have to set up a new theme each month with at least 8 coordinating activities. I also work the front desk 12 hours a week at night. Darren is able to come hang out with me, so it isn't that bad. We have actually made some pretty big life decisions chatting in the basement of the tabernacle, since not that many people come in, we have a lot of time to talk. I enjoy setting up the theme for each month, and even though it is a ton of work, I have a great little pre school curriculum started! I think I will actually miss it when I am done!

Beaver

A few weeks ago Darren and I drove down to Beaver, Utah where we met my family to go snow boarding. At the ski resort in Beaver it is free for California residents so my whole family could go snowboarding for free except Darren. We had a lot of fun just visiting and spending time with my family. I spent a lot of time on the ground and Darren was a lot better than I thought he would be. I was really impressed! Beaver is just a tiny little town but they had the greatest little Mexican restaurant. We went there two nights in a row because we all loved it so much! The funny thing is, we went there to eat and when we walked in it was this tiny one room log cabin and we thought it was kind of weird so we almost left, but we talked to people who were leaving the restaurant and they were raving about it. We ended up staying to eat and it was a good thing we did! Overall, it was a really fun weekend trip and I loved the time I got to spend with my family!

This is really how I spent most of the day! Ha!
Because my mom and I weren't doing so good, and the boys were way better than us, we wanted to try skiing. Everyone told us that we were already good at snowboarding so it would be harder to learn how to ski, but sometime I want to try it. It looks fun and I like the fact that you are always facing forward!
