Utah

After the family reunion, Claire and I drove down to Utah to spend time with my family. We wish Bryan could've come with us for the first week and a half, but we are happy he'll be down here for a bit of the trip. We have already done so many fun things. Thought I'd update what we've done so far this trip.

First off we went to the children's museum. It was Bode's (Claire cousin) birthday. He wanted to go to the museum. Here is Claire pretending to be a blacksmith.

This one is of Claire following in Grandpa Don's and Daddy's footsteps!! She said she is building a tower.

The next thing we did was to go to a petting zoo. Claire had so much fun. She loved seeing all of the animals. She got to pet sheep, goats, horses and a cow. She saw pigs, chickens, llamas, geese, ducks and rabbits. Here she is petting the baby cow.

There was also pony rides at the petting zoo. Claire absolutely loved riding the pony. Her pony was named Sparky. She loved it so much I allowed her to ride it twice. It was just too cute.

Claire, Cortney (my niece) and I went to The Living Planet aquarium. She loved to see all of the fish, but her favorite was seeing the turtles. It was a great time.
Yesterday we were able to attend the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open house. Claire loved it. She said the chandelier was "Jesus' Diamonds." It was so cute.
Then last night we went to a carnival. It was family night so all of the rides were only one ticket which was 50 cents. Claire loved all of the rides. She went on the Ferris Wheel, Giant Slide, Roller Coasters, and some of the fun simple little kiddie rides. Here she is in her little dragon.

Claire is enjoying riding in her little duck boat. She had a lot of fun with this ride.

Here we are at the bottom of the giant slide. Claire giggled the entire way down. It was fun. We loved the carnival and also spending time with the cousins.
