Utah- Idaho Trip

Utah- Idaho Trip

We had a great time visiting family and friends in Utah and Idaho. Some of the highlights:
  1. Dinosaur Museum- Jaxon has just loved Dinosaurs recently and loved every moment seeing the giant creatures. We had a hard time keeping up with him running around pointing to everything.
  2. Fountains at Gateway Mall- Jax was pretty hesitant about going into the flying water, so Dad had to help him get comfortable. Just as he did get the confidence to run through by himself, he took off, eyes closed and arms out, and slipped and fell flat on his back and head. That ended the trip.
  3. Horseback ridding- Jax also loves horses and loved riding them with his uncles and cousins.
  4. Nerf guns with cousins- They were trying to hit flying targets (skeet).
  5. CATS- Jaxon just loved playing with the cats at his cousins house. And Talon learned to say "cat."
  6. Jumping on the trampoline- Both Jaxon and Talon enjoyed jumping. Talon learned to say "jump" as he sat and tried to bounce up and down. Jaxon got really good at it and was always trying to get someone to jump with him.
  7. Water- Playing with Grandma Sturgeons waterhose and playing in the pool.
  8. Open house- My cousin Jon and his new wife Aubrey had their open house in mom's backyard. It was fun getting ready for the party with Jeannie, Aubrey, and my mom. I would love to go into the wedding planning business. Maybe one day.
I loved watching my kids excell at new activities. Each day was a new adventure and I feel that my kids grew intellectually and socially. I love our vacations to visit family. I look forward to next summer already!
