Six Flags

Another day Grandpa was here, we went to Six Flags. My dad was great and watched the kids A LOT so that I could actually ride some roller coasters. It was so much fun. Dallin was so much fun this time. There were 3 roller coasters that he was big enough to ride, and he LOVED them. All of these pictures were taken with our phone, so sorry about the quality on some.

This was him right before it took off on the first one. It was actually a pretty good coaster and more intense than I thought it would be. He laughed and held up his arms the whole time. He is much braver than I was at that age.

Here is another coaster he rode. He is in like the 2nd one from the end. Not that I can see him...

Here are more rides he did.
It was probably only about 65 degrees at the hottest time of the day. It had a good breeze going most of the day, and it was cloudy all day. So it really wasn't waterpark temperatures. Jeff loves water rides more than amusement park rides, so Jeff, Dallin, my dad and Tori went in the water and did some of the rides. Dallin wasn't big enough to do any of them but he did the wave pool. It was too cold for me so I chickened out.
Alyssa didn't want to get her swimsuit on, but she enjoyed playing with it.
We just hung out on the chairs.
Alyssa was really good most of the time. She was just happy to be outside even thought that meant she had to stay in the stroller most of the time. I just loved this picture of her :)

Fun with Grandpa

My dad came up from Texas this past week. We had a lot of fun. One night we went and played miniature golf. I was tied with Jeff going into the last 2 holes and choked!!!! Oh well! Next time I might win :)
One day we went to the zoo. The kids LOVE the zoo so we bought a membership there. Alyssa talked about the animals all day. Dallin was happy because Grandpa bought him one of the rhino mold things.

Father's Day

I thought I would post Dallin's father's day card he made in primary. He's such a cute kid.

Here they are opening Jeff's presents.

More fun with Grandma

While my mom was here, we did a few more fun things. First off we went through 3 boats that Dallin got for his birthday. The first one just stopped working. The second one sank....and the third one finally worked! Dallin was pretty sad until we bought his new one. Here is his boat that sunk....it's the little green speck in the water. Jeff was using his boat to try to knock it over to us.

One night we went and shot off rockets. Dallin thought it was awesome. Alyssa was very scared and hated it. She did have fun running around.
One day we went and played frisbee golf. We had a lot of fun. Alyssa was very dirty, tired and hot when it was over. I'm pretty sure Dallin is already better than Aunt Tori :)
Dallin and Grandma did lots and lots of puzzles.
We went shopping, and the kids had fun playing in the kids area.
The kids played in the puddles A LOT!!
The kids were obsessed with apples while she was here.
The kids were very excited to sit next to each other in the way back in the car.
Alyssa had to get an Echo done while Grandma was here because the doctor heard a heart murmur. She did great and sat there for 45 minutes while the technician did the test. I couldn't believe how great she was. Her tests came back fine so now we don't have to worry. Here is the waterfall she was obsessed with at the hospital.

Zoo

My sister Tori flew in this past Monday. The kids love playing with Aunt Tori! One day we went to the little zoo the next town over. It's a really small zoo, but there's a big park, a tram ride, and a little water area all for free.
Alyssa LOVED the animals. She kept saying animals over and over again. She loved saying hi and bye. Her favorite was the turkey.
Dallin liked to look the animals for about 10 seconds, and then he was ready to move on to the next one.

His favorite were the crocodiles, but I think they kind of scared him.
We played at the park for a little while, but there were lots of big kids who didn't care about the little kids.
The tram ride was kind of lame because it just took us around some random neighborhood, but Dallin thought it was awesome!
After our picnic it was time to play in the water. Dallin got right in and didn't stop running. He loved every minute of it. Alyssa was a little hesitant at first, but then after Dallin pushed her face first into the water she had fun.

Next stop

Next stop was the Museum of Science and Industry. WE of course had to check out the tractors first. It was a free day so there were lots of people there, but the kids did pretty good at waiting in line.
Dallin's favorite part was the storm section. He loved watching the tornados, but there' this awesome part where he pretends he is a member of the storm chasing team. He got to drive the dow truck (for those who don't know, Dallin is OBSESSED with being a storm chaser. It is pretty much all he talks about). He thought that was the coolest thing.
Alyssa loved the cows. She thought it was pretty silly to touch the fake cow.
She also really loved the trains. She would wave bye bye at every train.
We got there kind of laste in the afternoon, so Alyssa was really tired. She mostly wanted to just chill in the stroller.
