We're going to hike the Bridal Veil Falls .
This is a beautiful natural waterfall in scenic Provo Canyons.
It's easily accessible via a trail that connects to the parking lot.
Brother and I are crossing the bridge.
We have reached the waterfall.
Brother is throwing the leaf into the creek.
The water's cold.
C'mon Brother, let's go towards the middle of the waterfall.
What a great view from the bottom.
We had too much fun here.

We are at the BYU Museum of Art.
This is one of the largest and best attended art museums in the Mountain West.
I can do hopscotch because I'm very good.
The museum is a four-story modern facility of more than 102,000 square feet in size.
This we're looking at the To Magnify the Lord exhibit.
This is the Last Supper.
There are many art with Jesus in it.
Next is a Split House exhibit. This is a stop-motion animation.
Next we're doing the scavenger hunt at the Shaping America exhibit.
Is that really art?
It's just a pile of blankets.
Brother found something on the scavenger hunt.
[Brother] Noodles! My favorite!
He spotted a few more.
We have too much fun here. Please visit moa.byu.edu for more information.
W're at Monte L Bean Live Science Museum.
This is a Natural History Museum housed at Brigham Young University.
Brother is going to do a scavenger hunt.
[Brother] P is for peacock!
It's called a liger.
[Girl] What's a liger?
[Napoleon Dynamite] It's my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger.
Brother, how many have you found?
Now we're checking out the Into Africa exhibit.
[Brother] Why are you trying to tickle the zebra?
The hyena is pulling the monkey's pants so we can see his butt.
Watch out for the what?
[Mom] For the tentacles. Tentacles.
I'm going to feed my hand to the alligator.
Brother is moving the ant around the hive.
Lastly, we're going down the slide in the owls nest.
We had so much fun here.

We're at Crandall Historical Printing Museum.
We're stepping back 500 years into Gutenberg's print shop where the first Bible was printed.
Mr.. Jim is giving us a tour today.
He is showing us how type is made.
First you start out with a mold and place it in the hand type caster.
Then he's giving some casting metal that's 600 degrees Fahrenheit, and it looks like liquid
Mr. Jim pours the metal into the mold and seconds later the metal hardens, and the type is created.
Next you take all the letters you need and place them onto a composer the stick.
The sticks are then put on a tray called galley.
Then Mr. Jim placed all the type in the berniture and make sure it was very tight.
He got some gooey black ink and two funny things.
[Mr. Jim] These were called ink balls.
They were used to apply the ink on the type.
I'm grabbing the sheet of paper and Mr. Jim is placing it onto the printing press.
I'm pulling the handle to print the pages.
And then it's Brother's turn.
And ta da! Two pages of the Gutenberg Bible.
Next we're looking at a replica of the press that printed the Declaration of Independence.
Lastly we're looking at an acorn hand-press from the 1,800's.
This metal press allows for smaller typefaces and more precise printing.
Now Mr. Jim is showing us how they put the book together.
The pages are then sewn together and shaved off to make it nice and smooth.
Lastly he demonstrated how the book is bounded to the cover.
We had so much from here.

We are at the Soap Factory.
This place lets you make your own soap in about 90 minutes.
First, we're going to pick our mold.
There are 400 shapes to pick from.
I'm going to make a bumble bee soap, and Brothers making the honeycomb soap.
Next we're choosing a scent from these 150 fragrances.
[Brother] I like mango.
I'm not getting this.
Mmm. I'll go with the lemon.
Step number three: mixes.
I'll take the Himalayan salt.
Lastly, we're selecting our color.
These are mineral pigments in the natural base.
Now let's get started.
First we're going to pour the soap mixed into our mold.
The soap is made from saponified vegetable oil.
Then we're sprinkling in the smells that are sourced from essential oils and botanical extracts.
Adding a little bit of salt.
Lastly, we're mixing in the color.
About 30 minutes later our soap had solidified.
Finally we're going to paint some color on top.
We're placing it in front of the fan to dry.
We had so much fun here.
