This is the place monument








Our latest family adventure is a membership to This is the place monument in SLC. We've already been there twice and have yet to see and do everthing. The girls love to ride the horses and pet the baby animals. We have all had fun playing pioneer games, riding the trains and making crafts. This is a must do if you are ever in SLC.

Visit to the Duncan's

In celebration of Caleb's graduation and Trevor's baptism (although we missed the actual days), we spend a great weekend with the Duncan's. We took a road trip to a creative metal/sculpture park and then to the Golden Spike National Park.




Zoo




We had a year pass to the zoo and went often with their cousins Jessica and Kylie. Once we went as a family in the dead of winter...the monkeys were not as playful but the cats and bears were facinating. For our last visit we had the girls pose in front of their favorite animals...Emma loves giraffes and in a rare experience the twins both preferred the zebra (had a horse been there it would have been a three way tie)

Easter

A Easter egg hunt was a new item this year, we are typically slow on the traditional scene. After the kids found the eggs we hid a couple of time, we let them hide for each other and enjoyed the creativity they found in hiding them.

Emma's 4th Birthday


Emma celebrated her 4th birthday. In true Emma fashion she loved the hoopla but would rather skip the cake. She's never been one for pastries.
