UTAH TRIP!!!

I know this is a LONG post but we just had TOO much fun I couldn't just post a picture or two, so here you go! Kolton and I deserted poor Brady for 10 days and went and had a blast with my family in Kaysville, Utah. While we were gone Brady got super sick, started his semester at OU, and played lots of Call of Duty! :)

My parents have two dogs, a Golden Retriever named Lexi, and a beagle mix named Sally. Kolton wasn't TOO interested in them, since we have dogs too, but one day he thought it would be fun to get in Lexi's bed. It was too funny. Of course by the time I got the camera out, he rolled out of the bed, but you get the idea.

We went bowling one night at Hill AFB. It was pretty fun--even though by the time we were actually able to bowl it was way past Kolton's bed time and he was tired of being told he couldn't go out on the lanes...It was fun though to spend time with the family! And bowling is always fun!!

SNOW

This was Kolton's first time EVER to see or touch snow. He didn't so much like it...but it was fun anyway!

He did NOT like touching it!

DRINKING FOUNTAIN FUN
My parents have a drinking fountain in their kitchen. Kolton thought it was pretty cool. He would ALWAYS ask to get a drink out of it! Good thing he wasn't quite tall enough to push the button and actually make water come out!

My parents got Kolton a Curious George monkey and a book about Curious George going to the aquarium so we had to take Kolton to the aquarium! Kolton loves this monkey! He loves giving him hugs!

THE AQUARIUM

We went to an aquarium as a family so Kolton could see all the fish! They had this ball thing that stuck out from one of the exhibits and this was his favorite!

Well, Kolton's arms were too short to reach the string rays, but he enjoyed sticking his hand in the water anyway!

Kolton and my brother Shawn looking at some of the fish.

Kolton and I in a cave! This was the only way we could get him in. We tried coaxing him in by himself but he was a little weary so I got in there with him.

Kolton loves showing his belly button. As we were walking out of the aquarium Tyler asked him where his belly button was and of COURSE Kolton had to show it! :)

At the aquarium they had this shark hanging from the wall. Tyler put Kolton on his shoulders so that he would be closer to him--we thought he would be scared, but this boy is just full of surprises! He really liked looking at him!

Any time my sister Cambrea would sit on the floor, Kolton would run over to her and tackle her. He really enjoyed hanging out with his aunt!

Tyler loved playing with Kolton. He would take him running around the house and Kolton loved it (as you can tell!)!

My brother Shawn is an awesome piano player! Kolton really liked playing with him. Don't you love how he doesn't have a shirt on? :)

TEMPLE SQUARE IN SALT LAKE CITY

One day my mom, Kolton and I went to Salt Lake to snap some pictures of Kolton. It was so fun!

Here is a picture of Kolton with the huge Christus Statue they have in the Visitor's Center. Kolton kept looking up at Christ. It was too precious!

Here is another shot of Kolton with Jesus. I love how they are both reaching for each other!

We went to the Visitor Center there in Temple Square and took a few pictures of Kolton with some of the displays they had there. This one is of Kolton with Joseph Smith.

These are pictures we took in front of the Salt Lake Temple. My brother Derek and his fiance Lizzie are planning on getting married there on August 14th!

Here is a picture of Kolton and I in front of the Salt Lake City Temple. It was so fun to go around Temple Square with my mom and Kolton and just take pictures!

I thought this picture was funny. We were trying to get a picture of Kolton looking at the temple but every time we would try he would try to run off and so my mom would run and grab him. This one just cracks me up!

Finally we got one that kind of worked. I think it is cute! I really need to go in and do some editing to the photos, though, to make them cool looking!

My brother Derek is really good at playing the guitar. He decided to take it out one night and play some on it. He even let Kolton play some too!

TREEHOUSE IN OGDEN, UTAH

Some of my mom's friends told her about this place called "Treehouse" in Ogden and said it was SO fun for kids. We decided to drive down to Ogden to check it out one day. It was awesome! We plan on going there each time we go back! They had so many fun things for kids to do! They have several different areas such as a music room, a "palace," different houses that represent different areas of the country such as Germany, Africa, China etc., a firetruck, the President's Office...the list goes on and on. The only silly thing about it tough, is that kids are $5.00 (ages 1-13) and then adults are $4.00. It was a blast though! I recommend it to everyone!


They had this firetruck right when you walked in. My mom and I thought it would be cute to put him on it for a photo opportunity. Well, turns out that thing is a lot more fun than you would think! He sat on that thing for a good 10 minutes! He just didn't want to get off. It doesn't light up or make noise or anyting but he still loved it!

These two little girls LOVED Kolton. They would follow his every step. It was too cute! Already the ladies man!!

In the Africa area they had lions and gorillas and whatnot. He was TERRIFIED of the gorilla. I kept trying to get a picture of him with it and just decided to snap one even though he was no where near him.

This picture was taking in one of the Asian areas I believe. He wanted to crawl in there but once he got in, he stepped right out!

In the Germany house they had a little basket of bread. My mom got it down for Kolton to play with and the first thing he did with it was grab a loaf of bread and walk right over to the bear and feed it to him. It was weird to me that he knew that you could feed the bear. I thought it was cute though!

All the different rooms they had were so cool! This is a picture of Kolton at the President's desk in the Oval Office. I love his serious face he has...oh the pressures of being President! ;)

They had a huge chess board and huge blocks that Kolton loved dragging around.

This isn't from the trip, but I think his face is funny, so I thought I would add it.
