Ross Park Aquatic Complex

For another activity on our stay-cation, we took the boys to Ross Park Aquatic Complex. They loved it. In the past Tyler hasn't really liked swimming too much. But, this time, he had a blast. Jason did really well in the water too.

We're off.

Tyler is excited!!

I love this playground they have there. It pretty much is a playground in a water hole. It is awesome and Tyler loved it.

Do you see Tyler through the water?

We just hung out on the shore and played with Jason while Tyler played.

Jason liked the water.

Where's Tyler?

Tyler running through the spraying water.

Very hard to see Tyler?

Jason loved it.


Isn't it an awesome park for kids?

It was way to bright though.

I really was taking a picture of Cory and Jason and not this lady in her bikini. I promise. Cory laughed so hard when he saw this picture because you can barely see him and Jason.

Cute Tyler.

We are all worn out.

I give it a thumbs up. My favorite part was the lazy river and just relaxing on the inner tubes.
AHhhh.

Tyler gives it two thumbs up.

Cute Family.

These pictures were taken in the car on the way to Tyler's dentist appointment. I thought they turned out quite nicely.

We are such a good looking family aren't we??

Ogden's Union Station

Last week we were able to take a few little trips. Cory had one week off before he started his new job and so we decided to have a little stay-cation. First on our list was a drive to Ogden. We had free passes to the new and improved Union Station and so we were off for our first day of fun.

Tyler in the conductors chair.

Tyler loved climbing over these trains.

We had to climb some pretty small ladders to get up here. I was so surprised by Tyler. He did it almost all by himself. He is growing up so fast.

On the Olympic train.

Cory, Jason, and the Olympic runner.

We didn't even get to climb on top of all the trains. The museums were closing soon and so we had to leave the real trains if we wanted to visit all the museums.

Tyler and I by the robot horse. We like robots.

Cute picture of the boys by some train rails.

This is a really good thing for Tyler to be playing with.
An ashtray.

We were sitting on chairs that were on top of dressers and storage units. It was pretty fun up there.

Ty really liked ringing this bell.

A gigantic scale.

This museum was really kid friendly and there were lots of buttons and activities for kids.

Tyler loved this computer, even though he got some of the answers wrong.

Candy Dancer.

This was a cool yellow train that looked more like a tractor.

Toy trains, they weren't as cool as the real trains though.

Tyler playing conductor again.

We also visited the gun museum. I have never seen so many guns in my life. It was kind of interesting.

There was a little toy train that Tyler just kept watching and watching. There was a button that he could push and then it would go around the track. He watched it for over 30 minutes.

Here is a picture of the train Tyler loved to watch.

We are now in the antique car museum.

We had to rush through it because it was 10 minutes before closing. All the old cars really reminded me of Grandpa Hobbs. It was cool to see all the real-life cars of all of his collectibles.

Funny Jason

We were filling the tub up so both the boys could get a bath. Tyler was already ready to go but we hadn't gotten to Jason yet. He was so excited to be taking a bath that he got right in with all of his clothes on. We thought it was so funny. He loves taking baths.

Jason loves Popcorn

We found out the other day that Jason loves his popcorn. He chews it up fairly well too. We just have to be careful about the seeds because he will try to eat those too.

Yummy popcorn.

I love it.

Well, maybe he doesn't eat it as well as we thought. Maybe he just crumbles it up and then sits on it.

24th of July Celebration

In Pocatello, we celebrate the 24th of July, or Pioneer Day. We started out by attending the parade. Tyler loved going with his two cousins Allie and Makayla. After the parade, we were off to the fairgrounds where Tyler got to play in a bouncy castle and he even got to go fishing over a wall. The kids got free hot dogs which were much needed by this time. The last stop we made was at the doll making corner. Tyler's doll turned out to be more of a pirate than a doll. He was sure cute making it though. All in all, it was a fun, but very hot day.

Here is Jason cuddling with Grandma Miles. He was so sleepy that day.

Tyler is excited for the parade.

Eating some candy.

Cute Makayla...I wonder who made her those fabulous bows?

Allison and Aunt Melissa. It was fun to spend the day with the cousins.

Jason

Is that not the cutest baby you have ever seen?

Oh my gosh, he is just so adorable. I love his face in this picture. I think it says a lot about his personality. Don't mind the drool on his chin, he is teething like crazy.

Brothers

We tried to get a good picture of the two boys together. Jason just doesn't understand yet how to look and smile cute. Oh well.

When I grow up...

I want to be just like my Daddy. Tyler has his work badge on and Cory's hat. I thought it was so cute....except for the whole tongue thing going on. Why is that Tyler has to pull faces when the camera comes out?? He is super-duper cute though.
