My parents came down from Oregon to visit for a few days, they really wanted to see Eli play in a soccer game. Luckily, it was probably the only nice week that we've had ALL year!! No rain, not even clouds in the sky, it was great. We got to go out and do some fun activities. First we went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. I've never been to the gardens, but it was really beautiful, and I got some great pics of the boys!!!
These are the Koi in the pond-the boys wanted to stay and watch them all day
Here is Ethan watching the fish - he through the hugest fit when we made him leave!!
Here's Grandpa Jim trying to keep up with the boys as they run through the gardens - they weren't all that excited about the flowers :)
They had a childrens area in the gardens and the boys loved playing in the water area
They had every type of tulip you could think of but this was by far my favorite, I've never seen anything like it, cool huh??
We also went to Kennecott Copper Mine. Everyone loved that, especially Ethan who wanted the trucks soooo bad!!! He kept pointing at the trucks when we were outside looking at the mine and then when we went inside the visitors center he was using all his strength to try and push open the display cases (which don't open) to try and get the model trucks and tractors out. Poor boy, he was so frustrated!!!
This is one of the tires that go to the massive trucks they use in the mine, WOW!!
A big thank you to my great dad who fixed our fence that broke in the wind storm the week before. I don't know what we'd do without you. Love you :)
