the boys went on a trip

Anthony's parents are in Idaho visiting from Ohio for a few weeks, so Anthony took Mason and went to Idaho for the weekend.  I wanted to go, but I had to work.  While they were there Mason had a fun time with his grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins.  On Saturday they went swimming at a swim beach and from the looks of it Mason had a blast and Anthony got a funny sunburn!

The best part of the weekend is that a new nephew was born to Anthony's brother Carl and his wife Ashley!  

tin foil dinners

We drove to Millcreek canyon last weekend to build a fire and have tinfoil dinners.  We put stuffed pork chops, potatoes, carrots, onions, and cream of chicken soup in our dinners.  It turned out that the stuffed pork was really disgusting, but the vegetables tasted good!

He had fun digging in the dirt with sticks.

a visit to the zoo

We took a trip to the Hogle Zoo a couple of weekends ago.  They had their Zoorasic Park exhibit, which were animatronic dinosaurs in different spots around the zoo.  There was one dinosaur and its baby that would spit water at people.  We had fun looking at the animals and (fake) dinosaurs, but it was really hot and we were excited to head home and have some ice cream.

This scale was way off!  It said Mason weighed around 70 lbs (before the other little boy was on it)!  He is only 23 lbs.

This T-rex was pretty cool.  I can imagine that it could be pretty terrifying to a small child though.   It brought back memories of when I was little and my family went to Denver to see the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit, which was basically the same thing as this; I wouldn't even go in the same room as the T-rex.

The only picture we got of an actual animal happened to be a picture of the side you don't want to see of the gorilla.

first day of nursery

Mason had his first day of nursery a few weeks ago.  He didn't have any problems with us leaving him there, he just played the whole time (plus spilled water on himself).  We are so happy that he likes to go to nursery!
