Utah Wanderings Part 2

Dinosaur Park
We haven't been here since Evan was a toddler! We met Aunt Lori and Xander at the Dinosaur Park. It was pretty hot, but still so much fun!
Evan loved his snow cone so much, he helped the other kids finish theirs.
Happy Grandma, Happy Baby!
Logan had a little too much fun.
After the Dinosaur Park we went back to Grandma and Grandpa Tucker's for a family barbecue. All the cousins are together! Silly kids :)
Sorry Lori, I just couldn't resist...
Everyone loved the giant marshmallows...
even Grandpa!
Jump, jump, jump
Logan is my first baby to like swinging! He loves it!
Downata Hot Springs
These hot springs are up near Lava in Idaho. It's so beautiful! They have cabins, tepees and spaces for tents. We got a big cabin (yes, we prefer having a bathroom when we camp ;) and everyone had a bed to sleep in.
Getting settled at the cabin :)

Sleeping Beauties
Reid found his own bed
Swimming- July 22, 2010
All the cousin's are ready to swim!
Ella Bella
Randi
Maya
Evan was very nervous his first time down the slide, but by the third time he told me to stop coming with him.
After a full day at the pool everyone was ready for a rest.
It was nice to sit down and relax!
Lorelai's Birthday Part 3
This is the actual day of Lorelai's birth so once again she got everything she wanted in a birthday party ( which was a crown on her ice cream cake, cookies, and princess plates). She's an easy girl to please.
I thought this was so funny. Notice what Reid is eating while everyone else has cake.

Logan got another present too!
All the kids made glow in the dark hats.
Aren't they cute!
Nate started a fire all by himself!
Oh, wait. That sounded bad, but really it's great because it was something he needed to do for scouts and he was fully supervised by Grandpa T.

Utah Wanderings- Part 1

Our trip got off to a rocky start when we missed our flight Sunday morning, but it ended up working out. Everything went very smoothly the next day. We got there VERY early and everyone was very nice. I was so glad my mom flew down and helped me fly up.

My BF from high school had her first baby on July 10 (exactly one year after Logan!) so I had to go see the little angel ASAP. Eisley is so cute! Logan thought she was absolutely adorable. We have already made plans for them to date (if we ever get to move back to Utah).
Risa and Eisley. Aren't they beautiful?!
That evening was Uncle Randy and Uncle Kyle's Water Polo game.
Clapping for his uncles.
I took this video for Eric, but thought I would post it too. Just in case anyone is wondering what in the world Water Polo is. :)


Kennecott Copper Mine
One of the things I love about visiting Utah is that I get to be a tourist in my home state. We visit places that we wouldn't if we lived in the area.
These are the biggest dump trucks I've ever seen. Reid was mesmerized.
They had some great videos about how they mine the copper and the history of open mining. I think Evan was the most appreciative of all the new information. He watched one of the video's twice. He is an eager learner!
After the copper mine we went over to the Magna Park. It was pretty warm, but the kids had so much fun. The Olsen cousins love playing together.
Baby Miles is so cute! This is my newest nephew and we love him so much. It's been killing me not to see him.
The next generation of Olsen's love water just as much as their daddy's!
Tracy Aviary
This aviary was so neat. It's located right in the middle of Salt Lake City and they had some of the most beautiful birds. The kids really enjoyed seeing birds from all over the world.
Birthday Party Part 2
Did I mention that my kids are spoiled?
Lorelai felt the she needed a Crown Cake so Grandma Beth got a cake from Roger's Bakery, we added a crown, and there you go!
I think this look says it all :)
Logan liked his new friend.
Cake for everyone!
THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE IN UTAH. Kneaders
We had so much fun in Magna. I can't believe we fit it all in in just 5 days!
