Vacation Day 5: Dino Park and a whole lot more...

Our last day in Utah...bitter sweet...I have loved this vacation! Now being that you boys are so young it didn't mean a lot of rest for me but having your Daddy around the whole time sure took a weight off my shoulders...not that you boys are weight but you are my sole responsibility most of the time and it was wonderful to be parents, together for a whole week not just nights and random days off. But part of me is ready for life to get back to normal. To sleep in my own bed, to have access to a washing machine...it's the little things! 

Anyway, we had a blast today. We drove up to Ogden, UT to a dinosaur park. It happened to be a free park day...super cool. They had skeletons, fossils and a gem cave inside and outside they had 'lifelike' dinosaurs. We had a great time...I feel like I have said that a lot this trip...but it's true we had a great time!

ready to see more dinosaurs!!


Daddy's favorite Dino...look at those teeth!

"Woah...look at that dinosaur!"

You and Daddy found a whole bunch...you loved digging for shiny rocks!

After we left the Dino Park and grabbed a quick bite to eat we made our way to Hill Aerospace Museum...on the way to the park we passed it on the freeway and after some Yelp searching found out that it was free...so we stopped in for a while...

Jack so happy to be out of his car seat!

After our busy day we headed back to Salt Lake to pick up Nana...we grabbed a quick treat from Wendy's and picked up Nana...then we had dinner at Benihana's...Jake, you loved it...you loved watching the chef cook all our food and do tricks! Then we all wanted to see the Olympic Village so we took a quick little drive...this was the first that Nana saw of Utah...she loved it!!

Jake, you were in quite a mood in these photos...you are making some crazy faces!! 

Our little family

Nana and Jake

ok, these next photos need some explanation...Nana wanted some pictures with you boys and Jake, you were being quite wiggly, the only way to get you to stand there was to have you sing the 'itsy bitsy spider'!!
"itsy-bitsy, itsy-bitsy"...yes you say itsy-bitsy more than once...usually three or four times!!

"spider went up the water pout"

"down came the rain"

"and washed the spider out"

"out came the sun, and dried up all the rain"

"and the itsy-bitsy spider...got chicken nuggets!"...Nana thought you were going to fall...thats why she's making that face

"and french fries and apples and chocolate milk!" your change in the song surprised nana!

you were proud that you made her laugh! 
Jack...I love that your expression changes very little through all the craziness...you are just so used to the silliness!

My boys, we all had such a great time together. I was so proud of you both. We did a lot and asked a lot of you on this trip but you both did fantastic! We are going to try to make this trek annually...we'll see what happens between now and next year but I think it would be so much fun to go here again! 

More driving tomorrow...boo!

Love, 
Mommy/I will cherish this vacation always!
