Bee's Game

Monday April 29th Justin decided to take work off & we planned a little family getaway! First we went to the Bee's game Monday night. {Carter is super into baseball right now} Smith Tix does a family 4-pack & 4 hot dogs every Monday night for 20$, can't beat that!

Family night!

Nothing better than baseball park hot dogs!

The game was really long & breaks were needed for the kids- So luckily they have a train that goes around the diamond & a bounce house & baseball activity back in the park for free! They rode the train a bunch of times, Tenley loved the train, not so much the Bee :) {we were by the Bee & I wanted to get their picture with it. Tenley wouldn't even get close! She was terrified & kept backing away from it as the train was coming - I kept saying come here Tenley to get her off the trains path & she wouldn't come even though the train was trying to get thru :) she didn't want to get near the Bee}

Made mommy go with the first time

Took plenty of train rides together!

Carter would have stayed & played this all night. The air blew the ball up into the air & you tried to hit it into the holes that had point values.

Such a pretty night & fun atmosphere

Cub with the Bee!!

Hotel Fun! [Swimming]

The kids had already swam before the game but only got in the hot tub by themselves... So after the game it was about 10:30 -the kids were determined to go swimming with us, & it was the only time we had to go swimming..so off we went! We got some good looks from people who seen us taking our kids swimming so late :) 

Sauna time!

more sauna time!

The kids were having such a good time, they would sit in the sauna with us & then jump into the cold pool to dad. Tenley definitely is the opposite of Carter when it comes to water. She has absolutely no fear!!!

Swimming with daddy!

Carter is more timid in the water but he did get braver as the night went on! They love swimming with dad because he can throw them high & make it so much funner than I can :)!

Hogle Zoo!

Tuesday morning we were off to the Hogle Zoo! The kids were in heaven at the Zoo!!! It was our first time going & it was for sure worth making the trip. We hit it at just the right time so it wasn't busy & once we made our way all the way thru the kids wanted to go back & look at a few things again & hardly anyone was there- it was great!!

watching the waterfall, patiently waiting to go in :)

The gorillas :)

Carter liked looking at all the bones {elephant} & which animals they belonged to

Big nest!

Daddy & Tenley with the BIG giraffes

Carter & Tenley both were shocked how big giraffes actually are

The tiger sat right up in the window behind us, so awesome!

The kids love the big turtle at willow park, so when they seen this HUGE turtle they had to have a picture :)

All the lego structures were amazing!

wanted to ride it over & over & over!

The carousel was definitely a hit, good thing its almost carnival time :)

Swinging monkeys they watched forever :){Tenley will even tell you "the baby monkey peed on his hand, & then ate it"}

The rhinos were kind of in the distance but Carter loved the rhino!

Watching all the sea critters, I think this was one of the coolest parts about the whole zoo. being about to sit down in & watch all the animal swim. The little sea otters were fun to watch, doing flips & going back & forth right by the glass!

After we looked at each animal, the kids loved posing in the structures!

Riding the rhino :)

throwing money into the water fall {making a wish}

Love these guys! Such a great weekend!

We will for sure take the kids back again next year. They loved it & so did Justin & I! Thanks dad for the fun weekend getaway!

Castin' away!

We went out to Condie to let Carter officially learn how to cast his fishing pool {good} all by himself...

this is total Carter. thumbs up. love this kid!!!

Tenley would rather just play in the mud, rocks & water. This girl is never clean but always having a blast!!

Pro-caster :)

Daddy teaching him how to!

He got it down pretty good & can cast all by himself without dads help now-besides getting it caught in the tree once :)  {Carter is always so willing & interested in learning new things & is always up for a challenge}

Weekend Fishin'!

April 6th we headed up the Narrows for some Saturday morning fishing! The kids love getting out of the house & spending quality time with dad! Tenley is already asking for a Princess fishing pole & a pink tackle box for her Birthday :)

Constantly daddy's side kick

Where's Carter :)

Cutest fishers ever & their big catches for the day!

Carter hiked clear up on the hill & wanted to keep going up but I wouldn't let him, I remember what it feels like rolling down a hill once you get too far up :) The kids are always asking to go fishing, Carter gets so pumped when he catches a fish all by himself {so cute} I'm SO glad our kids are the outdoorsy kind of kids!
