A day at the beach

We decided it was time for another day at the beach and we invited some cousins too.  We had so much fun!

 We love getting in the water.  DJ took the long shovel in to be his paddle.

 We love digging in the sand.

It was so much fun and not too crowded today.  The best part was probably playing with our cousins!

Zoo Day

We decided it was time to visit the zoo again.

 It had been a long time since we visited the bird show so we sat down and the boys loved it.  

 Alex and grandma Sue waiting for the show to start.

 We rode the carousel. 

 We really loved the dinosaurs that were around the zoo.

 They had a blast roaming the zoo, seeing all of the animals, getting wet at the splash pad, and finding dinosaurs.

Spreading Our Wings

We had noticed that the boys do really great on their scooter balancing and DJ has been asking to get his training wheels off his bike so we decided it was time to try it.

 These two are practically experts already.

 They are still working of starting by themselves and not taking up the entire road, but we are getting there.

I'm so proud of these two!

Taking Flight

Jason took an introductory lesson in flying today.  

 We had 30 minutes up in the air.  Jason took the controls for part of the time.  We did a little zero gravity too, which was freaky.

Soaring

We had a great view of the Bountiful Temple while we were up in the sky.

What a fun date we were able to go on while the boys were at a birthday party having a blast too.

Grateful to be Free

 Happy Independence Day!  Our neighborhood had an annual BBQ and fireworks and we had so much fun at it.

Only picture I got as an entire family watching fireworks.

We are so blessed to live in this beautiful, free nation!  We thank all of the men and woman that have served and are serving now to help keep our country free.

Jungle Jim's and Playing Poolside

Our friend invited us to go to Jungle Jims with them today.  

 The boys had a blast riding all of the rides.

 Well, most of the rides.  When they were on this one the person in charge was daydreaming I think and let them go extra long.  Both of the boys looked a little green when they got off. Needless to say they didn't go back on this ride again.

 They loved the bumper cars.

 They had a blast crashing into each other.

 Another favorite was the bounce houses.

 Before we left DJ requested riding the carousel. 

 Later we moved the pool and played a little pool basketball.

 They had a great time.

Our Day

This is what may of my mornings look like because the boys like to go riding their scooters up and down the street.

 Later Alex was napping and we went and played army downstairs.

 This kid loves his army toys!
