In the middle of May we were supposed to go up to Salt Lake for our newest nephews baby blessing. Well I ended up not feeling well so I sent Jake and the kids up and I stayed home so as not to infect everyone (especially the baby). I was pretty bummed because I knew they had lots of stuff planned and I was totally going to miss out. Which I did.
They left Thursday after Jake got out of school and headed to Delta to spend the night, then they got up early Friday morning to head to SLC.
They went to the Living Planet Aquarium where I am told that Ethan loved touching the stingray and Olivia was enthralled with the peguins.
On Saturday they went to the zoo with some of the Lester cousins. Jake let Aunt Stephanie do Olivia's hair so of course she had to have a big bow right on top of her head.
They are doing some sort of Dinosaur exhibit thing this summer so they have all these fake dinosaurs around the zoo. I think they may have been Ethan's favorite "animal"They both loved riding the carousel, and with the aunts season passes they got to ride it 2 or 3 times.
Grandma Sandie was obviously not watching where she was going and got eaten by a dinosaur!
I think Ethan was looking down the dinosaurs throat to see if he could find grandma ;)
They also got to ride the zoo train for free using the season passes. Thanks Aunt Sheri and Aunt Steph!
Since we rarely go to the zoo, Jake decided he would buy a souvenier for each of them (what a softie!) this time. Ethan actually wanted a shark that I guess was super expensive but then Jake talked him into this snow leopard mask because he loves to wear masks around the house and try to scare people. And Olivia loves hats so it wasn't too hard for her to choose (with some help from Jake I am assuming) and now she rarely goes outside without it on.
On Saturday afternoon it was cousin Q's birthday and they had rented out a bike track. Ethan was still using training wheels and was having a little bit of a hard time I guess, when one of them broke off. He wanted Jake to fix it, which he couldn't because it was completely busted, so instead they took the training wheels off and lo and behold Ethan rode right off. Jake said Ethan was loving it, cruising around the corners and up and down the hills like he had been riding with trainers for a long time. Now we can hardly keep him off his bike!
They must've had a ton of fun because at the end of the day Olivia completely zonked out without getting into pjs or anything!
Kinda sad that I missed out, but I know they had tons of fun and it was probably good for Jake to get to spend some quality daddy time with the kiddos!
