First snow

A couple of days ago was the first real snow of the season. Mark and I pretty much share an opinion on snow. It's interesting for a little while, but then it gets old fast! Bennett seems to agree.

About 2 minutes after these pictures he demanded to go inside. Smart boy!

C-O-R-N! B-E-L-L-Y-S!

We went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point twice this year! Bennett was obsessed with the pumpkins, and all he wanted to do was climb on them and carry as many as he possibly could.

For some reason he really hated the tractor ride. Of course, the tractor ride lasted foreverrr.

I think his favorite part, maybe even more than the pumpkins, was going down these blow up slides with Mark. These guys are best friends!

This morning we went to this cute aquarium in Sandy, The Living Planet. My favorites were the jellyfish, the stingrays, and the penguins! Mark's favorites were the seahorses. And, Bennett was just in heaven chasing after all the other kids. 

Independence Day

On the 4th of July we went downtown to watch the parade. Bennett loved seeing all the people and clapping at the same time as everyone else. He was pooped though, and fell asleep as we were walking home. We ate some barbeque and relaxed the rest of the day. I kind of surprised myself by getting really emotional when they stood the flag at attention and everyone put their hands over their hearts at the beginning of the parade. It really is such a blessing to live in the United States and enjoy the freedoms we have.

Bridal Veil Falls

It's Summer! It's been so hot lately, but Bennett gets pretty bored staying inside all day, so I've been trying to get creative with our activities. We have been going to this cute little pool near our house, but we decided to change it up and go to Bridal Veil Falls. Bennett LOVES water-which cracks me up because he used to act like bath time was torture. We had a cute little picnic and walked up to just the bottom of the falls. We played in the icy cold water until our toes were a little numb. It was fun!

Family Outing

We're so ready for fall!
