vacation week

The last week of July David went to baseball camp at BYU.  The Saturday before camp started the kids and I headed up to Utah.  We spent Saturday night doing dinner and a movie with my best friend Gina.

 Our hotel had an indoor pool and most of the time we were there we had the pool to ourselves. 

The boys had a great time swimming all week!  Thomas & Nathan got to swim every night before bed

Monday  morning we dropped David off at baseball camp.  He got to live in the dorms for the week.  

He had two of his cousins and a friend from little league that were there!  They had a blast!!

 The kids and I stayed in Utah for the week during baseball camp.  We got to spend lots of time with Gina, and her family.  One of the days we went to the city pool in Orem with the Herrera girls & kids. I thought we had some fun pools here, this one beat them!  They had water slides the kids could go on with their life jackets, diving boards, a lazy river, a splash pad and a shallow play area with lots of fun things to do.  

Nathan was swimming/playing and went running to the fence when he saw the garbage truck.  He stood there the entire time the garbage truck was there dumping our the dumpsters.  When it started to leave he waved goodbye to it and watched it until he couldn't see it down the street anymore. 

LaraLeigh has two daughters the same ages as Thomas and Nathan, so they each had a buddy to play with while we were up there.  Nathan and Brooklyn got along so well!  They were so funny.  They loved to play tag, when Brooklyn would chase Nathan and he would laugh and say her chasing me! After their first night playing they ended with a hug and a kiss!!  Thomas and David asked Nathan if he had a girlfriend and he smiled really big and said yes, she likes to kiss me and give me a hug!

Thomas turned 6 while we were in Utah!

 He got to open a couple birthday presents on his birthday morning

 We also went to the zoo!  The boys loved seeing the animals!  

 They loved watching the mommy & baby elephant!

 They got to go on the carousel too. 

 They thought this lion drinking fountain was so funny!  You have to put your head in the lion's mouth to get a drink!

We had so much fun last week in Utah!  We got to do lots of fun things, did some shopping, got to see old friends and make some new friends and the weather was perfect!  David had a great time at baseball camp and is already asking if he can go to both sessions of baseball camp next year!
