Father's & Son's Campout!!

This last weekend Doug took Wyatt on his first campout. It was the father's and son's campout with our ward. They had a lot of fun. They made dinner and had a fireside on Friday night. On Saturday they had breakfast and were racing sailboats. Doug said that Wyatt did really well sleeping. They ended up sleeping in a trailer that our friends own. Doug said that by the time that they got there, there wasn't a place to put up a tent because there was such a great turn out.

A Day at the Zoo!!

For Doug's birthday this year we went to the zoo. It has become a tradition to go to the zoo on his birthday. It is really fun. This year we went on a train ride, Wyatt went on the carousel, Wyatt played in the play area, etc. Those were all new things we did that we hadn't done before. We saw a baby elephant, 2 large elephants, giraffe's, hippos, tigers, etc. It was a great time.

We also went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I love their scones or rolls. They are very yummy. We tried their brownie with ice cream. It was so rich and very yummy!! They also pulled Doug up and had him sit on a saddle to wish him a happy birthday. It was a hoot. I think Doug had a good birthday.

Happy Easter!!

Here are a few photos from our activities for Easter. Wyatt went on an Easter Egg Hunt in our yard for a ward activity, he went on an Easter Egg Hunt over at Thanksgiving point, he got a bunch of fun stuff from the Easter Bunny in his basket, he went on an Easter Egg Hunt at Doug's parents house this year and we had a very yummy lunch. We had a lot of activities that we did and Wyatt had a great time. We also had a couple of family home evenings about the meaning of Easter and Wyatt was sad when he heard that Jesus had died. It was cute to see him listen to the lesson and react. We had a great Easter holiday.

Pictures Wyatt Took!!

Here are some photos that Wyatt took of me and Doug on our hike in the Arches area. We went on the Park Avenue hike which is a mile long. Wyatt actually did a good job taking these photos. We were both very suprised at the pictures he took. He is professional!!

Moab Trip!!

We went down to Moab for a family trip for a couple of days. We went to the Arches and went on a hike. Wyatt actually walked for almost the whole mile. He had fun trowing rocks into puddles of water that were in some of the larger rocks because it had rained and snowed on us on Friday. You can see in one of the pictures that it was snowing. We took a bunch of pictures while we were driving in the snow. We were able to go for the fun hike later in the day though. We also drove through Canyon lands on Saturday morning before we headed home. It was a beautiful view everywhere we went. It was just tough because the weather didn't cooperate with us too well. It was a nice little family get away. We stayed at a great bed and breakfast. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful. My favorite was the blueberry pancakes with caramelized walnuts, strawberries and whipped cream.

Pony Ride!!

Today I took Wyatt to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point. Wyatt decided that he wanted to go on a pony ride. Once we were ready to go on the pony ride Wyatt got a little scared. He got to choose which pony he wanted to go on. He sat on a pony for a little bit and waited for some other kids to get on some of the other ponies. He almost wanted to get off but I told him that he was going to go soon. Once they got going he did great. He was having a great time. He started saying wahoo after another kid had said it. Wyatt rode the pony all by himself!! He said that he had fun once it was done.

Blast Zone at Kangaroo Zoo!!

Last week I took Wyatt to Kangaroo Zoo with Hillary and her son Justin, and Dulcie and her daughter Kamry. All the kids had a great time. They got to play a game called Blast Zone in an enclosed room. They had to wear goggles to protect their eyes. It was really cute to see them all put on the goggles. Then they got to put balls into an air gun type thing that shot the balls across the room. They had a ball. Hillary and I had a hard time keeping up with getting the balls back to all of the kids. I think they all had a great time!! I know Wyatt did.
