Baby Animal Days

We had a great time out at the American West Heritage Center checking out Baby Animal Days.  Of course, Jimmy really loved the train ride.

Spring Break 2012

We had a great week exploring southwestern Utah during spring break.  The first three nights we camped at Quail Creek State Park.  Then we relocated near the ghost town of Grafton near Rockville and Zion National Park

This first video is some time spent with Jimmy practicing downhill speed on his big wheel.

The ghost town of Grafton was a really beautiful place and the remote location was a bit more our style.  After a trip through the town grave yard Jimmy wanted to try a little bouldering.

Hot Springs

Heading to Maple Grove Hot Springs is one of the favorite family activities this winter.  Jimmy usually brings some of his "guys."  This trip he had trout and mantis. That's mom's beer not Jimmy's in the background. Jimmy's mantra for the hot springs is "This is nice, this is relaxing" and I agree.

Labor Day Trip to Jackson

We had a great trip up to Jackson this past weekend.  Brian and Laura have an excellent spot on the outside of town with access to great mountain biking.  Captain Brain took us all rafting down the snake.

Lots of bikes!  Jackson has some great trails.  We were riding right from Brian and Laura's house.  Loved it. 

Notice the progression of the these two photos.  Charlie gave Jimmy the butt and he didn't much care for it.  

These next two photos are of the meltdown the two mama's boys had when Laura and I headed out for a ride.  

We parked the camper in their front yard.  It worked out great and we left it for next weekend after LOTOJA.

Landscaping

We finally got ourselves out of the dirt this summer.  It has been nice being able to play in the grass in the yard.  Our next project will be getting some trees and plants in sometime this fall.

Jimmy and his new bike

Here is our little cyclist testing out his new bike. 

Parking at his new school.  He sees us to this with our bikes everyday.  

Trying to get into school on a Saturday.

He loves those buttons
