Out of Africa

Saturday we went to Out of Africa. It was so much fun. The weather was perfect. We have been waiting for it to cool down, and it finally has. We definitely picked a good day to go. This was Deagan's 3rd time and Treyden's first. Treyden loves animals, so it was so fun to see him get so excited about them all. We were there for 4 hours, but they would have stayed all day.

Waiting for the safari ride


Treyden's expression every time we saw an animal, so pretty much the entire time. It was so funny.


Ready to feed Keebo!

KEEBO!

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY!

Feeding the deer.

Boom Boom the Rhino

We also saw a crocodile, a HUGE snake, and watched the Tiger Splash. It was a fun, and full day. They were exhausted.

Camping

The weekend before last we went camping. It was nice to escape the heat for a few days and let the boys run wild... and they did. It was pouring rain the day we got there so there were some big mud puddles around camp to get them nice and dirty. They went through A LOT of clothes while we were there. But it was fine, they had so much fun and they were exhausted by the time we left so it was worth it :)

This was our home away from home... my in-laws were nice enough to let us sleep in it. I love camping as long as I have a trailer to sleep in. There really is no other way. We had 4 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs in there. It was pretty cozy, but it kept us dry!

Treyden pushed this dump-truck around pretty much the entire time.

The 3 amigos

There was a pond by our camp with frogs in it. The boys LOVED it.

Grandma and Grandad came out and joined us for dinner on the last night.

It was a fun weekend. We definitely need to do it more often!

18 months

Yesterday we got a letter in the mail welcoming Treyden to nursery. I can't believe the time is here... that he is 18 months already. He is growing up so fast. He is definitely not a little baby anymore, even though I still call him my baby and will continue to call him my baby :) He will be 2 before we know it! These past 18 months with him have been so much fun. He has the sweetest and silliest personality. He LOVES to dance, and he LOVES animals. All of them. I am so grateful to be his mom and so grateful that I get to watch him grow and learn new things.

Love you TK.

Fossil Creek

This is where Dev worked last week. Played is probably the better word. He was so excited to take us there when he got home, so we packed up and went the next day. It was so much fun. The boys loved it. There was a little underwater bridge that they could just sit on and splash in the water. That is what Treyden preferred over actually going out in the water. He did not like that at all. We had a picnic and just relaxed. It was a fun day. And we were all wore out by the end of it.

The boys, testing out the water.






Deagan on the other hand, loved it. Of course he did. No fear in that boy.

Don't you love Dev's farmers tan?? I do :)

It was a perfect day.
