Trip to Utah

Soon after Logan's birthday we flew to Utah for a few days to visit family. While Ty was golfing, the kids, grandma Rule and I went shopping for birthday presents at Build A Bear. Logan picked out a green dragon, which was no surprise, he is fascinated with dragons and dinosaurs right now. I asked him what the dragon's name was and he said "dragon." I said "How about Firebreath?" (the dragon has fake flames coming out of it's mouth). He said, "No, Swimmin Breath." (because the dragon had on swimming trunks!). So Swimmin Breath it is. Alex's pick was no surprise either since her favorite color is pink. She picked out a pink bear. I had to convince her to pick out something for the bear to wear that wasn't pink too.

Here are the finsihed products:

After that we went to Chuck E Cheese where we had a blast playing with Aunts and a cousin. Logan especially liked riding on the monster truck. Alex had fun playing the games.

After a little rest at Grandma's house we went to Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country to see the animals and have a horse ride. There were all sorts of animals to feed and see. Logan wouldn't get his fingers too close to the goats, he ended up throwing the food at them. But he did surprise me and actually got on a horse for a ride. Alex got to ride a horse too and she had a great time. She also got to milk the cow which was pretty cool.

The rest of the trip was lots of fun too, we spent time with Ty's family playing games and catching up. Ty's brother had just bought a house and it was neat to see their new place. The trip ended with a huge surprise. The day we were to fly out, we woke up to SNOW, in late May! It wasn't just a dusting of snow, it ended up being around 3" of snow. Luckily we weren't flying out until the afternoon and it warmed up and all melted by that time. The kids went out and made a small snowman with with Grandma and caught snowflakes on their tongues.
