Arbor Day

Davis County Library has a special presentation for Arbor Day.  This year it was really cold but we stuck it out. Ryker and Alana each got a bucket and shovel to help plant the tree. We had a cookie to celebrate.  We are with our friends Wendy, Ava and Aldwin Wood.

A Day in Salt Lake

Chris had a class in Salt Lake so the kids and I headed down with him and went to the Hogle Zoo! Chrisgot the family a Zoo pass this year and I am so excited to use it!  It was a nice cool morning and the animals were very active, which made for an interestingday at the Zoo.




The gorilla was looking for something in its nose.

Ryker finally decided he wanted his picture on the Rhino.
Monkeys were on the move and the little baby was soo cute. The bottom picture is of the outside enclosure - that monkey worked really hard upside down to get that plant- it must be yummy.

Ryker and Alana took some persuading to sit on the same tiger- but look how cute they are!



We got to see the Tigers right at feeding time.  I got a video but it won't post so pictures will have to do. There were too big chunks of meat and three tigers- I am not sure how that works out for the third one or if they trade off eating.


AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! This is the only lion they have at the Zoo- I think it should roar when you push the button for the water fountain.

It was Earth Day at the Zoo and this school bus was converted into a garden it was the neatest thing and Ryker and Alana had a great time playing in it. I think Alana would have driven it away if they would have let her.




We always have fun in the Play land. This time Alana was able to play on most of the toys without much help.




We still had some time left in the day before Chris was done with class so we headed down to the Utah Red and White Game.  Leah Sharitt, a teacher Chris works with, got us into the game and her son Patrick and Ryker had a great time on the carts and playing with the football.

Funny Alana!

Here are some funny pictures of Alana- she keeps up laughing!
She is enjoying her first taste of Grandpa Bruce's Whip- I think she is hooked!


 She was obsessed with wearing Chris' gloves. She would put them on and then chase us around.


 Alana was helping me with the laundry and decided she wanted to get in.

Alabama comes to an end

Ryker had this funny photo taken on the tracks.
No trip is complete without a ride on the "tractor". Bob pulled out the cord to start it and was fixing it with Ryker "helping" it was taking a while so Ryker decided to show us his muscles by lifting the pitch fork up.



After it was up and running Chris mowed the grass and then Ryker got his ride with Grandpa.




Friday night Chris started a blaze of a fire for us to enjoy and cook some Dutch Oven potatoes in.


Ryker played with Molly and climbed up and down the scaffolding while dinner was being made 




 Bob was having a good back day and came out to enjoy the festivities.










 Fluff made an appearance.







 Getting ready to head to the Birmingham Airport so that means we needed a family photo.
