Vacation Week 1 - Part Four

Thanksgiving Point

One of our favorite places in Utah is Thanksgiving Point. There are beautiful flowers there all year long, some cute little shops, a cafe, a movie theater, a dinosaur museum, and a kid's "dairy farm." We visited the dairy farm with all the cousins one day and had a blast. It was perfect for all the kids ranging in ages from 4 1/2 to 1 (oh yeah, and little Louisa came too, but I think she slept most of the time).

Here's mommy forcing Spencer up a huge scary fake cow.

Real animals are MUCH less scary, even if they try to nibble at your feet.
Janelle in heaven: Riding a pony.
Janelle absolutely LOVES horses. Horses are her favorite animal by far. So when she realized she could ride one, she was so excited! We've really got to get this girl to the ranch!

Hello there Mr. Goat.
Axel's not quite sure what to think of his new friend!

Watch out there Alex, you might get bit by......darn it....too late...a chicken!
Yup, poor little Alex's finger was mistaken for a snack by a chicken. Fortunately it wasn't too bad of a bite and she was a good sport about it.What a nice view of the horses' rear ends!Of course we had to stop for a chocolate dairy treat on the dairy farm. Janelle is in deep thought while eating hers.

We're not sure what these two did to earn prison time, but two cousins doing time together is just asking for trouble! Hey cutie patootie!
Shake that booty!
Even the younger ones started feeling the beat!

Time for a wagon ride!
What a busy Grandpa...

...and Grandma!
A quick peek at the flowers.

We're pretty sure this one's got some modeling potential, what do you think?

The nice cousins: Spencer and Alex

I'm pretty sure that's one of the most handsome boys I've ever seen!

Watering at the water hole.
What a fun day!

Did Janelle get her dance moves from mommy?? :-)

Heck yeah, I've seen Laura really shake it (sorry princess.)

We have never been to that little farm. I feel like I'm depriving my children since it's so close. We really need to go.

I wish I went with you guys that day. I was kinda bummed you all saved everything fun for the days I was in Vegas. Oh well, it was sure nice of you and my mom (and Hillary and Dad)to watch the girls so I could go. Those are some great pictures and I especially like the one of Janelle and Ayden in the jail and of course the modeling pictures of Janelle. What a silly girl.

It's true G (in answer to your question Crystal) - I'm not going to deny the dance moves. :)

I dont think we ever told Jenni that Alex got bit by the chicken. Well, I guess the secrets out.
