Family visit

I've been waiting for Michelle to post so I could steal some pics! I was a terrible picture taker when they were in town. We had a fun family filled couple of weeks. We went to Bear Lake for the 24th. It was a fun trip. I'm not much of a camper myself. I like to "camp" in condos or hotels! Does that make me a "high maintainence" girl. I'm not sure, but I don't care! Haha. All in all I think that I did pretty good. We had a great time, even with the family of mice living under our tent.



These 2 boys are so cute. I swear I can never get Dylan to look at the camera. I'm pretty positive that he does it on purpose because he knows it bugs me! Stinker. Kade wanted Dylan to play with him soooo bad the entire time. If Dylan paid him any attention he'd get so excited. Dylan was not so sure he wanted to acknowledge him for the first week, but by the end of the trip they were holding hands and being friends. It was very cute.

Seriously how CUTE is Kade. He is a funny little guy!




Daddy and Dylan building a sand kingdom. Jeff is such a cute Dad. Dylan had a blast destroying all of his towers and getting filthy.




You must blow this pic up and check out Dylan's face. We took him out on the boat just once. It was like being on the ocean. Super rough and choppy. He was terrified. He was holding on to me so tight and telling me "I seepy" over and over. Then he kept saying "I'm ok, I'm ok, I'm ok". Needless to say, we hung out on shore playing in the sand the rest of the time.


It was a fun camping trip. I stressed about it for weeks. I was freaked out that I was going to lose Dylan or that he would drown. Seriously nightmares for weeks. But he did great. Keeping track of him can be a chore because the child doesn't hold still for more than a minute. I even went as far as buying him one of those backpack child leash contraptions. I was never going to be one of "those moms", but I ate my words and made the purchase. I'm happy to say that I didn't have to use it. There were enough adults to take him for walks and keep him entertained.

We also did a bunch of other things like Farm Country, the Aquarium, Kangaroo Zoo, Real Salt Lake game, some craft nights, fishing and more. It was busy!


Dad and Dyl watching the penguins. Dylan loved them. They were so active and fun to watch!

Our best attempt at getting a pic with the matching outfits!


Once again...not smiling but at least he looked at the camera! G-ma and D.


Kangaroo Zoo! Dylan loved it. He seriously has zero fear and he loves to climb so this place was perfect for him. .



Aunt Mich took Dylan up to go down the huge one. He went so fast I didn't have time to take a pic. I was trying to focus on catching him and not having a heart attack! He had a blast!

I'm not sure why these last 3 pics loaded like this...



Come back soon Kade!

Umm I too like to "camp" in a hotel! I do love Bear Lake though, and deal with a tent for that occasion. D and Kade are cute, what fun little buddies.
