Our Visit with Grandma

We had so much fun the last 4 days with grandma. We went to an animal sanctuary on Thursday and literally roasted outside. They gave the kids a back pack (each with a different subject) to carry while we walked. Kylie's was on birds and she helped to identify all the birds we were seeing. McKenna keep us up to date on the tracks and scat. Once we defined what a scat was we then identified the scat of--a dog. She wasn't real thrilled. Conner was over the insects and was too enthusiastic about being the leader. We saw a lot of little red bugs we never did identify even with the magnifying glass we had. We came indoors to enjoy the cooler temperatures and explore the hands on activities they provided.

We went to 7 peaks one day and luckily no one needed rescuing. We did a little. . .OK a LOT of shopping while Marc took the kids to the zoo (it was sweetness when he asked me how I take 5 kids anywhere). And ended the few days with a trip to the dinosaur museum where we lunched on dino nuggets.

We watch a 3D movie while I held Kamryn who surprisingly kept her glasses on the entire show.

It was funny to feel her jump every time a dolphin would swim toward us. We then went over to the children's garden and let the kids get wet as they played at Noah's Ark. A trip wouldn't have been complete if we didn't end it with a little ice cream and then we headed for home. We were sad to say good bye but we will see her and grandpa in a few months for Kylie's baptism. Thanks for the fun trip Mom. XOXO
