Aquarium Visit

Straight from the party we headed to our next adventure- The Aquarium.

The kids loved looking at the fish. One of Chase's words is "fishy" so he was excited.

Blake steering the boat.

Audrey and Jackson exploring a deep dark cave. It won't bite Audrey!

The highlight for most of the kids was petting the stingrays... except Jackson. He didn't "want to die" from touching them. Audrey's CTR ring came off in the water while going for one, so that brought a few tears. But a nice boy reached in and got it for her.

Jackson liked crawling through the caves.

Benson, Luke, Chase, and Jackson would have watched the sharks for an hour straight if we would have let them. Chase would get SO excited every time one would swim by.

Erica and Laura have year passes to this place so they invited us along. We had BLAST!

Fall Break- 2009

This time I drove to Utah with all of the kids, but still minus Matt. First item of business was to go watch Tyler's Football game. Tyler is an awesome little player with a lot of fight in him. Clark is his coach so he allowed Blake to have a "sideline pass". He even let Blake come to their practices. Thanks Clark!!

The little guys wanted in on the action too. Cooper taught Jackson and Luke the proper football stance, and they had their own little game going on .

It was so funny, they didn't even have a ball. They were just pretending. They would just run and tackle each other and then do it all again.

Chase playing peek-a-boo with Laura. Nice pants Ferfie:)

Blake watched Tyler's game so intently and would cheer him on each play! Of course they won. GO LEHI!

Next item of business was to head to Provo. We had a little time to kill so I took the kids first to my dad's duplex where I lived after my freshman year. 1934 N. Someone was moving out that day so the door was open. I asked if we could come in. They didn't care, of course, so I showed Blake and Audrey around. There were a lot of updates since I've been there but some of the stuff was exactly the same. Like the fake wood laminate table and chairs, which was actually mine as a kid, and the old, beat up piano. I showed them my bedroom and told them the story of how Matt proposed to me there... against honor code!!! oops.

Then we headed to Snow Hall which is where I lived my Freshman year. We didn't go in to that apartment- it's a BOY dorm now but still Lucky #13. I have a few pictures on this same ledge with my roomies- Good times!!!
