The Treehouse Museum

The Treehouse Museum is located in Ogden, Utah and is amazing!  Ryker had so much fun and Alana did pretty well.  They have so many fun activities for kids, Ryker played with both the knight area and train tables for a long time.  On Mondays they have a special reading time and it is awesome they have a guy who was reading the story and a wonderful lady playing a keyboard adding sound effects for the story it was great.  We also sang some fun songs with them including Ryker's current favorite the Hokey Pokey!

A tooth and a Stegosaurus

Alana's bottom right tooth finally came through!!! I took several pictures but you really can't see it you really can only feel it in her mouth. Warning: if you stick your finger in there she will bite you!

 Ryker was having fun with his army men they were fighting his stegosaurus. The army has guns but the dinosaur has a wicked tail. The dinosaur won!

Jensen Nature Park

We went to the Jensen Nature Park with some friends. it is fun you get to "feed" the ducks that is if they don't take it from you-Ryker learned to hold the bread on his head so the ducks don't take it from his hand when he is standing right by the pond.  I was also feeding the ducks and moving Alana so she could see so I took some pictures on the bridge.  Ava was nice and shared some bread with him when they were on the bridge so they could both feed the ducks.  It reminds me a little of first dam in Logan.

 When we walked around the pond a friend spotted this turtle and we got to look at him up close.

 Alana got her bowl and spoon when I stepped away from the table- I love her smile it says so many things- "look what I got", "I wonder what this will look like on the wall?", "he he he", "I am the destroyer", "It can't be that hard to feed me". . . .

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year we watched Ghostbusters and made caramel popcorn and visited our wonderful neighbor Sue for a treating.  Ryker was a pirate, Alana was a little Monster, I was Pumpkin Pie, and Chris was the USU football team (he didn't want his picture taken after losing in the fourth quarter several games in a row).

This was taken after Halloween but I envision the big pumpkin saying"tastes like turkey!"

Staining the Deck

We got the deck stained and it looks great Chris did an awesome job!

Boondocks

We took a field trip to Boondocks.  They have a great kid play area.
