Then we took in the visitor center where we saw the presentation including a neat multi room one on the Family Proclamation.
We then collected Grandma and Melody (who had been napping) and headed to the Church History Museum. I don't think we have ever taken the kids there before and I had heard of some children's exhibits there. We found the room below that focused on art and Christ's life.
Left top is Melody at the book station checking out a quiet book they had. Left bottom is Miriam and I working on pattern block shapes, they had a book of simple pictures relating to things in Christ's life to recreate (like a camel, or ship). Center all the kids in a partial boat while another lady told stories with puppets. Right top Miriam and Aaron at a temple block building station. Right bottom Miriam and I were making origami doves like when Jesus was baptized (Miriam really caught on fire and made lots!). Other is 3 little kids in the toddler play area playing on big stuffed camels. We all really enjoyed hanging out there. We tried going through the interactive Church restoration exhibit, but it was still a little old for all of them. We finished the day with a quick run through of the other visitor center where they talk about the history of the SLC temple. The kids were quite interested in the 3D model, asking what all the rooms were. We got Little Cesar's pizza on the way home and counted the day a success.
