I love how it loooks like he is smiling. :)

This is where he wanted to be all the time till he got tired of being squirted with the spray bottle.

Trip to Utah (Polar Express and Hogle Zoo)

So we went down to Utah. (Heber City) And rode the Polar Express. Our best friends went with us. (Lydia and her son Johnathan)

Then we went to the Hogle Zoo in SLC. Its nice to be able to see a "real" zoo once in a while. We got to see most of the animals but some were inside because it was cold.

Grand Canyon

Fun in the water

The week before we started on this vacation I tried to get in a few things with everyone.

First we went to Downata hotsprings with Daniel.

Here are the big slides - Brendon is up there waiting in line. Here is Brendon waiting for Wesley to finish coming out of the slide. Here is Max playing in the little kids splash area.Then I took Wesley and Max to the splash park in Rexburg. Lydia took the twins, and Krista showed up with Neil.

The little kids really didnt like the water raining down on them but I think they all had fun.Then on Thursday we went to Jensen's grove in Blackfoot with my friend Dana and her family

Here is a cute close up of Max.Max and Tara in the water. and Jordan walking up.Then Saturday before we left we went to the Zoo with the twins .
