Bodies Exhibition




April 12th and 13th we went to Pocatello for the night. Austin had FB Board meeting so the boys and I went with him. The first day there we planed a trip up to Idaho Falls to their museum with Ginger and her kiddoes. They have the Bodies Exhibit there right now. We both thought it would be a neat thing to take our children to. We were not disappointed. We had a few reservations, but it turned to be a good idea. The kids were all so well behaved and willing to look and learn. I think that they all liked some part of it. Most of them liked the veins exhibit, it was so cool, or the room with the development of babies. The experience was very reverent for me, and I think the kids also. You couldn't help but know that there was a higher being at work in creating such master pieces. It was incredible to see all that there is to one human-being, and how intricate everything is. How can you not know there is a God after seeing something like that? Thus the reason why I have no pictures of the exhibit, I just didn't feel comfortable taking them. I would love to go back and take more time to see it all, with out some really little guys ready to move to the next exhibit.

Addler and Holdan
That being said the favorite place in the entire museum was the kids room. They had Early Idaho theme, with costumes, tee-pees log cabin, caves, all sorts of fun. The kids played so well together they had a blast. Ginger has three girls and one boy. However, you would not have guessed, they all just had a ton of fun.

Maestin and Ruxton


Maestin was Chief Tubbs, he got a little carried away with it though. Gingers' oldest is just a year older than Maestin and she was dressed, to look like a early women would at that time. He called her his squaw. She got a little fed up with it at the end. Later I talked to him about how he should treat women, that we really don't treat them like that. He said I tried to bring them animal skins for their food, but they didn't want it! The girls were good sports and they were having fun, but it gave me a great opportunity to talk to him about it. So, let her know that it will be better if the opportunity arises again to role play chief and squaw!

Holdan and Gingers' baby are the same age, they had a ton of fun!-well when they were happy with what they had and didn't want what the other did. :)

Holdan inside of a cave, my night setting on my camera took a great picture.


The gang-they are actually all cousins. Ginger is Austin's first cousin and my dear friend for years, so it is so fun to have relationships with them all. They came the next day to our hotel and swam for a couple of hours, they all had a blast. Those girls held their own with the boys! And I was pleased with how the boys treated them. I was really happy with how much they have in common. Great kids Josh and Ginger!

Holdan on the horse, with Ruxton checking it all out, he has to know how it all works.

Holdan and JJ talking to each other. They are actually for listening to a recording about the display, but they loved talking to each other on it.
Thanks Gugleman's for sharing a couple of days with us. It was time well spent. Lets do it again.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I bet going to the body museum was educational.
