Good Times in UT

We took a marathon two week vacation to Utah to visit with Grammy, Grandpa and the occasional trampoline jumping uncle Evan. My mom is a saint to host these crazy boys for two weeks (and their occasionally cranky and tired mother) and though Mac was pretty home sick by the end we took advantage of every activity we could find so we had a lot of fun.

This first pic is pre utah but Ham was looking too cute not to share. The best mother's day gift ever, flowers plus knowing the boys have learned how to weed the backyard. We stopped on the drive down to UT to check out a tractor dealership in ID, surprisingly no staff came out to offer us assistance.




Ah the joys of IKEA!

I was so impressed with the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was really kid friendly, entertaining and the ultimate selling point being that both boys were free.



One of several trips to indoor trampoline places. The boys had a lot of fun and got to see their Uncle Evan in all his trampoline flipping glory.

The boys hiding in a cave at the aquarium which was fun but overrun with elementary school kids on their end of the school year trip.

And finally the completely overpriced (8.50 for a one year old!) children's museum at the Gateway Mall. Luckily the boys had a complete blast which softened the blow of shelling out all that cash somewhat.

Hamilton had a hilarious obsession with the corn oil in the fake supermarket and proceeded to clear the shelves of all the bottles.


The dress up area was also a big hit though a bit of a workout for me having to help them change costumes every five seconds.

Thanks for putting up the pics from your trip! I miss you guys a bunch, and the place is so quiet and clean, I don't know what to do with myself! :-) Next year will be oh so wild with three boys on the rampage!
