The Zoo

When we were in Utah we went to the zoo. We got to see lots of animals, Russell really like the Elephants, but they were all girls and he held that against them. 

 Autumn really liked the otters and everything that was in water.

 There is a polar bear in this picture.

 They both thought that the giraffes were amazing! Autumn squatted on the floor and looked up at them, I don't think she wanted them to feel intimidated by her size.

 Russell was sad that there were no lions, but the tigers were ok.

 I think that this rotating black ball that had water going over it was their favorite part. Silly kids.

Utah trip

We went to Utah to visit Dad and while we were waiting for him to get off work when we first got there, we walked around the conference center and then made our way to the Church History Museum. 

 Russell was upset that I would not let him climb the wagon, and Autumn was mad that I would not let her crawl under it, there were rocks and some dirt under there that she really wanted.

 Both kids were so excited to see Dad.

 The next day Chad had the day off and cousin Melissa got mairried so we went to the wedding and waited for the group picture and the kids were so tired, it was way past nap time.

 Russell said that he loved going to the temple and playing with friends and seeing Grandma.

We made it

So the last couple of days in Rapid City were crazy wild and super busy. Chad still had to do some work and he went to a casting clinic and loved it and they had some extra stuff that they were just going to toss, so Chad brought it home and casted Russell and Autumn. They thought it was so great. I just hope that that is the only time they will have a cast on, when they are playing with Dad. Because after a few min. they were both pulling at them to come off. 

 

 Russell called this his "car" he and Autumn were driving.

 This was Chad's Birthday Cake had it on his actual birthday, and the missionaries even stopped by at the right time and we asked them to join us.

 We had to say buy to the dinosaur park. Do you see Russell on top of the dino?

 We made the long drive and it really went quite well, very minor things happened. We have been in our new place for just over two weeks, and most of the boxes have been unpacked and put out of sight. We went and got this pool, Chad wanted one that was big enough that he could get in too. Big Lots is great. This is how they like to play, Russell in Autumn out water everywhere.

 I just did this little creation this week, it was my sister-in-laws birthday, this is what I came up with.

 It was raining outside and they wanted to look out the window, I think that they like there new home.
