Dinosaur Park with Cousins

We packed our lunches and headed out for the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. It was fun hanging out with Tilisa, Helen, Erica, Wiatt and Sofie all afternoon. If I remember right, I think all my kids fell asleep in the car after playing. We love fun days like these spent with our family. We definetly miss these kind of days.

Just missing our little Ruby. But still a fun picture.

I had to add this one of Colton holding on for dear life.

I like this boy!

She really is getting to be such a big girl.

Nate went back in time with the Flintstones. That was a run cartoon.

Aunt Erica was Colton's little buddy. He held her hand all day and never left her side. It was pretty cute.

Park

While we were in Utah, Tilisa took us to a fun park. I think it was in Fruit Heights, it had a theme of Castles and dungeons. The kids really enjoyed themselves, they did not want to leave. The time really flew by while we were there.

Look at Joshy's grin, it says it all-he's happy.

Sofie enjoying herself in the swing.

TEAMWORK! I liked how Colton is helping his big brother climb the wall.

The next 2 pictures crack me up. Colton literally carried Audrey up the stairs and to the slide. While still holding her, he'd sit down and hold her down the slide.

Getting ready for the ride. But not quite sure what to think of it yet.

She looks happier now that their on their way down.

They were loving the sand! This was literally their favorite part of the park.

Just capturing the fun Audrey was having in the sand.

And just another cute photo of Mr. Wiatt enjoying the sand.

Water, water everywhere

Miss Audrey and Miss Ruby getting to know each other. What beautiful little girls.

We spent a lot of time swimming and hanging out in the pool. I think Nate and Josh basically lived in the pool. Any chance they got, they were in the pool. Luckily this year Josh was tall enough to reach the bottom so it made my life much easier. I actually felt comfortable letting them in the pool together alone. Then I didn't have to get in with them but could focus on the 2 little ones.

I actually had Sofie and Colton tied together with the noodle. They couldn't get loose.

Nate is in mid-flight from jumping off the ladder. This kid was a jumping bean!

Josh looks like he's about ready to belly flop it! This boy never stopped jumping the entire time he spent in the pool.

Audrey enjoys swimming in a pool more suited to her size.

Colton and Audrey swimming together. Colton could reach the bottom of the pool but refused to try it out of his fear of water. It wasn't until the last night of swimming that he finally dared to reach the bottom and walk. It's my fault however, because I sent him and Sofie down a slide at the hot springs and they were not prepare to go under like they did. So, he became super cautious of water from that point on. But after he knew he could touch, he loved the big pool!
