Since I had the day off for Veterans Day (thank you all military families), Jeff decided to take the day off too... for a day of family fun, he said. Usually that means we spend all of Jeff's money (and spend his $$$ we did)! We decided to venture up to Park City for some shopping and culture. Jeff said since we'd end up spending all our money buying new clothes for our children who keep growing, that we should get to do something fun for just us adults. So we went to the Kimball Art Center to see an exhibit showcasing some of Ansel Adam's early photography work. It was really cool. Jeff and I both admire his work... did you know he was also thinking of becoming a concert pianist? Lived in Yosemite National Park for 10 years? Took a picture of the Manti, UT temple? The pictures were really gorgeous. Pearl spent her time at the exhibit taking pictures of the pictures. It was pretty funny to watch... a little annoying too because she wanted a picture of every single one in there. She was actually really good, didn't break anything, and seemed to enjoy our time being "cultured."

But then again, we did bribe her with going to eat lunch at McDonald's if she was good.
