A few weeks ago, I decided to drive to Logan and visit Jason, Becca, Madison, Hadley and Emma. Needless to say, I told Jeff that if I ever think of making the drive again by myself with the kids to shoot me. It was the longest trip ever. I made it as far as Mt Home, which is only 50 miles from Boise, before I had to stop. Jaxon was screaming like no other. I finally made it to Tremonton, only to find out that the road to Logan was closed due to construction and that I would have to go to Brigham and then over the canyon, thus adding more time to my nightmare of a drive. I think we finally made it to Logan 6 hours later, when it should have probably only taken 5. As for the ride home, it was just as bad if not worse. I think I stopped a total of 5 times between Logan and Meridian. Finally the last stop was in Jerome, (I think) and I just had to laugh, because this is MY life !! Really !! Between Jaxon screaming and Kaden not listening when I would ask him to give Jaxon a toy, binky, something. It was one fun ride !!
The first day we got there Kaden found a new toy, GUNS !! Yes, my son became obsessed with guns. Not that anyone who knows Hadley or Jason should be surprised. I can't believe that I actually was able to get a picture of Hadley smiling. I guess the fact that he has a sword and was playing Pirates with Kaden, might have been the reason. Notice the gun in Kaden's pants !! Madison joined in the dress up fun with a wig that Grandma Olsen left for the kids to play with and her pretend guns !!
We decided to take the kids to Willow park and see the animals. I use to go with my dad when I was a little girl. For some reason I always remember it as being much larger than it is. I guess when you are young everything seems like that.
Hadley was climbing on some boulders so I tried to get a quick picture of him, hopefully smiling, and then there is my cute little boy, who says, "Mom take a picture of me and yes, he even posed for it, on his own of course, really, ask Becca, he is such a ham !! Love the glove that Hadley wears, he is such a little Jason !!
Two cute little boys !! They have so much fun together !!
Cute little Madison just turned 9, I can't believe it !! She is such a good helper to her mommy and daddy !! What a beautiful little girl !!
They had a lot of fun feeding the fish and ducks.
Jaxon and Emma also had a relaxing day at the park hanging out in their strollers !!
The next day we took the kids to first dam and had a picnic on our way to Stokes Nature Center, which is up Logan canyon. Madison was trying to help Kaden climb the tree.
Hadley also wanted Madison to try and climb the tree and was a very helpful little brother and tried to give her a little boost !!
Just a little more... and finally...
She made it !! Way to go Madison !!
Once again... Kaden trying to get in on the photo ops !! He is such a poser !!
I swear I don't tell him to pose, REALLY !!
We had to walk about a 1/3 of a mile to this little cabin, which is the nature center. The kids were able to see snakes, spiders, skulls, fossils, birds, etc. Kaden had a blast. He was so excited. He actual touched a snake and brave little Madison actual held it and it started to slither up her arm, Hadley was also brave and touched it as well. There was a huge tarantula. Kaden kept yelling, "Look mom a big spider !! " He loved it !! Here are a few photos of their little adventure.
