V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

As you probably know, this past week we were on vacation.  Because we live so far apart, my parents, sister (and family) and I don't get to see a lot of each other - twice a year max.  So we took a little time off work, rounded up the wee ones, and met in the middle.  "The middle" just happens to be Ogden, Utah, where we rented a cabin and hit the museums.  I feel so blessed to have had this special time with my amazing family - and the kids had a blast playing on the swing-sets, looking at dinosaurs, browsing the museums and enjoying the much cooler air.  Here are some highlights from the trip! 

 Baby L really likes basketball

 They were so thrilled to be able to play outside

 Petting zoo!

 Feeding the goats

 Baby L was afraid of the chickens

 Sitting on the tractor

 Petting the potbelly pigs (they're bristly!)

 Taking a horseback ride

 More fun on the cabin's playground

 Goofing off at Dino Park

 Looks like only one of us is paying attention to the right thing...

 Treehouse museum

 Grandpa teaching L how to drum

 Musical girl! (yes, she chewed on a marker...)

 Baby L for president!

 Trying to get Excalibur out of the stone

So, that was my trip in a nutshell.  Hope you all had a great week yourselves!
