In June, we spent a good amount of time in Scott's home town of Kirtland, New Mexico. It's about 20 minutes outside Farmington, near the Four Corners area. After a few weeks we were running out of things to do, not to mention money too. Well if you ever find yourself in Kirtland and need to get the kids out of the house without spending any money, the Tom Bolack "B-Square" Museum of Fish & Wildlife is the place to go.
It reminded me a lot of the Bean Museum on BYU campus, except everything in this museum was actually caught by Mr. Tom Bolack himself,a former governor of New Mexico. He definitely had some serious free time and money to have traveled around the world and gather all those creatures. I've never seen so many animals on display in one place. It was especially enjoyable for Shelby to see such a wide variety of animals that she could actually touch without worrying if they'll scare or take a bite out of her. We also definitely appreciated the extra bonus of avoiding the stench that usually comes with the sightseeing of the "live" critters at the zoo.
Thanks Grandma and Papa Wells! It was great to get out and see more of Kirtland and spend some extra quality time with you :)

Looks like you had a great time. I love the picture of you and Shelby swinging.
So cute I love all the pictures I'm so happy that put some new stuff up. I want to see more pictures of that little girl and you guys. Love ya.
I totally forgot about that place. I didn't know it was free. Next time we are home for any long length of time I'll have to take the kids there - they would love it. The pictures are great!
