Baby Animal Days

 

I had put it in the back of my head that the Logan baby animal days would be fun to do, but that we didn't have time.  Sharon gave us the time to do it and it was really fun.  The kids LOVED all the baby animals that they got to see and hold. They had baby calves, a colt, piglets, ducks, chicks, kits (bunnies), bears, goats, lambs, bison, turtles etc.....

The baby turtles were fast.  You had to use two hands because they took off as soon as they contacted your hand or the table.

The baby bears were my absolutely favorite things. They were like those videos of the koalas rolling around and wrestling each other. They were only 3 months old.

Ada figured out how to unfocus the camera to take some fun shots.

Seth was SO excited to ride the train.  He even skipped going into the petting zoo area to stand in line to ride it.

My favorite shot that Ada got of the animals in the petting zoo.

"How to pick up chicks".  Sam is practicing what he preaches.

Ada liked the ducks better than the chicks. Seth wanted to pet them all but definitely didn't want to pick them all up.

Spring Break

Wed night, we had dinner with Sharon and McKay's families in Providence. They had a blast playing games, jumping and eating.  You can tell that electronics are a big part of this next generation because at least 5 of the kids from 3 different families tried hinting that it was time to stop playing and they needed to watch a movie or play a video game.  It's a new time that's for sure. I for one love to see all these people and be with them.  Then we spent the night at Sharon's house before going to the baby animal days in the morning.

After skydiving and flow riding we went rock climbing.  I forgot how fun it is.  I really can't do it anymore, but I loved watching from the sidelines and reliving my 20s. Both Lance and Rae joined in with us on this one.

My favorite picture of all. They had some of the routes set up with equipment that would belay you on it's own, but Seth kept choosing the ones that you had to have a person.  Ada was the sweetest and would belay him a lot of the times.  Seth would get up a wall about a third of the way, then he would let go and just swing because he liked how it felt to swing.  Ada was very good at not letting him fall.

Evelyn, Seth, Jer and Sam.... Ada's arms were dead by this time and didn't want to go up the boulder.

After indoor sky diving, we went to the flow rider with cousin Lance.  The kids all had a blast, but I think Jer had just as much fun as they did.

Evelyn had some performance anxiety.  She did so well surfing for real, but tried this once and fell pretty quickly.  She didn't believe Ada, Sam or Dad that surfing her was not quite the same.

Seth had the instructor out there showing tricks.  Some of the tricks they learned were how to do barrel rolls, go on their knees and hop, and to go without hands.
