Christmas Fun

On Saturday we spent time with Austin's parents. We went to the Browning Museum first and learned about John Browning who was the genius behind a lot of the firearms used in the world today. We saw rifles, automatics, machine guns, and guns no bigger than my hand. It was incredible to learn about how John Browning invented his guns.

After the Browning Museum, we went to Rainbow Gardens and ate a great dinner, complimented with Mormon Muffins. We went through the shops and enjoyed the Christmas decorations that decked the halls. We found an animated Santa toy there that laughed contagiously when you pushed his hand. He was one of our favorites.

To complete the evening, we went to the Christmas Village in Ogden. The local businesses decorate little houses with Christmas scenes downtown. I think my favorite house was done by the Ogden Police. They had stuffed puppets that incarcerated the Grinch. Austin's favorite was the house decorated like a Weber State dorm room. Go Wildcats!
I think visiting the Christmas Village could become a favorite family tradition.
