Horse

 We went on a walk to the store.  Along our way we got to see some horse.  I took some fun pictures of them so I thought I would share them.

 This one is my favorite.  The horse looks just as curious as the boys do.

Wheeler Farm and Park

 We went to Wheeler Farm today with our friends.  We had a great time looking at all of the animals.  We saw the farmer feeding some of the animals.  The boys loved getting out and petting the horse.  Alex was almost a snack for on of them. 

After seeing all of the animals we went over and  played at the park for awhile.  The boys have lots of fun climbing and sliding.

 

We had our friend Lisa and her baby, Alice come too.  Alice is too little to get out and play, but it was fun having a baby around and catching up with a friend.  Here are all the kids together.

 We have such great friends!

Picnic???

 Daddy works a graveyard shift up at Snowbird so on Friday evenings he needs to get lots of rest before he stays up all night working.  I decided to take the boys on a picnic to a park to get out of the house so Daddy could sleep.  We stopped at Subway for a sandwich to share and then headed for a park.  Silly Mommy thinking that the boys would actually eat something with a park right next to them!  They had a lot of fun playing and a little eating was done too.   

DJ the Spy

 I had the windows opened to let some of the cool air in the house and later I see this.  Apparently DJ is a spy.  He found the binoculars by himself and propped himself up on the windowsill.  Not sure how long he was watching people when I got to him.  What a silly boy!

Powder Mountain Hike

 We went on a hike up Powder Mountain.  The leaves were changing colors and gorgeous!

 Again, this was during nap time, so during the first part of the hike Alex slept on my shoulder.

 Grandpa E, Alex, Grandma Sue, DJ, and Carson by the sign of Lightning Ridge.

 We stopped to take a family photo during the hike.

 

The boys got tired and DJ loved riding on Daddy's shoulders.

 Alex took a turn on Daddy's shoulders too.

 For being 2 years old DJ hiked quite a bit of the way on his own.

 At the top we found a shack.

 Another family picture at the top of the mountain.  Grandpa E and us were the only ones to make it the whole way.

We had fun hiking and it was so great seeing all of the beautiful leaves changing color!

Silly String Fight

 Grandma Sue brought up silly string so the kids could have a war with them.  They loved it!  Too bad DJ and Alex couldn't quite work them on their own.

Even thought the boys couldn't figure it out by themselves they had a blast!  Thanks Grandma Sue for always thinking of the kids and how they can have fun!

Harvest Moon Festival

We went to the Harvest Moon Festival in Ogden during our weekend get-away.  

Unfortunately it was during nap time, so Alex spent most of his time like this.    Super cute, but unable to do all of the fun things there was for kids.

 DJ made a ghost picture.

 He picked out a pumpkin and got to draw a face on it. 

 He kept turning it over and drawing on the bottom so I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was drawing the feet.

 He painted a pumpkin.

 There were lots of toss games.  DJ is pretty good at them for being so young because he loves to throw baseballs all day.

The street was lined with all sorts of horses decorated differently.  This is the first on we saw.

 They had face painting.  DJ wanted a spider.

 Daddy helped DJ play Plinko.

 Alex woke up near the end of our time at the festival.  We posed with Grandma Sue.

 Alex loved all the pumpkins.

Another fun horse.  We had to take a family shot by this one. 

 There was a man on a corner playing his guitar and singing.  DJ thought it was one of the most interesting things ever. Aunt Shai gave DJ a dollar to put in his guitar box. 

 Here is DJ watching and listening to the man on the corner.  I am pretty sure he could have stayed all day and listened to his music. 

 We had a fun time at the festival!

What a great way to spend a day, together with your family.
