The Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibit

This evening I went with Joe and two of my kids to the Da Vinci exhibit.
Our tickets included dinner.


Some things I learned about Leonardo Da Vinci:
He was a painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, inventor, engineer, anatomist, and writer, among many other things.  He lived in the 1400's.


Looking at a model of a city with a sewer system:

We watched a short video about the Last Supper painting:

Mona Lisa:

Anatomy sketches:

Upstairs was something like a Childrens Museum. Except there were only adults there to play with everything.



Virtual painting:

Making movies:

Stuff to play with:

And much more...

Day Fork Trail In The Snow

We got out of the smog by going up Big Cottonwood  Canyon today.
It was sunny and clear up there!
We found a place to park in Spruces little parking lot.

Joe gave me this crazy hat for Christmas.

We were so happy to see blue sky!
Believe it or not, I have a slight sunburn.


 Day Fork Trail:

We enjoyed the day.

Ice Skating, Bowling and extreme cold!

A week after Christmas our daughter and her family came to visit.
What is the worst thing you can do to Arizona people?
Have them visit Utah during a record breaking cold spell!
I checked the weather and it's 8 degrees out!


Sue wanted to see the 'Zoo Lights'.
We had lots of company. The parking lot was full.
The downside was 18 degree weather! It was painful!


Huddling around a heater:

One evening we went bowling. Groupon deals are great.  Pizza and soda was included:

Aaron came from work in Orem to join us too:

Ben  made a snow fort in our backyard:

On Thursday we went to Gallivan Center to Ice Skate.

It was good to see everyone. Next time we'll try to order more normal winter weather.
