Pumpkin Walk

Justin was gone deer hunting so I hitched a ride with my mom to Logan for the weekend.  It ended up being the same weekend as the pumpkin walk. The girls had fun walking around, I am not sure they fully understood the pumpkin walk thing, but it was still a lot of fun!

This is a Disney Olympic scene.  I am very impressed with the Goofy made from a zucchini.

This is my mom's attempt to get a picture with the grandkids... Better luck next time!

My mom dancing like the disco people.

Lydia's favorite thing about the Pumpkin Walk was putting her face in the characters.  She did it over and over again and loved it!  She also liked playing in the straw that was on the border of all the scenes.

 Brooke liked the characters too.  I think these pictures are cute so that is why I have posted so many of them.

 Brooke makes such a cute Harry Potter!

 I love how Lydia has her hands out on the one.

 Brooke looks deep in thought as she poses as Yoda.

 This is the cutest "Blue Genie Aladdin" as Lydia calls it that you will ever see!

 I like how Brooke and my mom are showing in this picture.

 

We had a lot of fun being outside and seeing all the pumpkins and also my sister and her family!

Bouncin' Off the Walls

One day when my mom was in town we went to a place called Bouncin' Off the Walls.  I had been before when Lydia was about Brooke's age, but I wanted to go again to see if it is something that I could take the girls to by myself.  Sometimes certain things are better with two adults, one per child.  Lydia liked bouncing more than Brooke did.  Brooke has been off a little for a few days.  She is getting more teeth and wasn't feeling the best because of it when we went. 

 

 

 Lydia loves this big slide.  She can climb up it all by herself.  It is fun watching her do it.

 Brooke didn't like the slide as much as Lydia did.  She mostly just wanted my mom to hold her the whole time we were there.

 One of the bounce house things is a basketball court.  Brooke enjoyed playing with the basketballs.

 

 The girls also like wrestling!

 

 My mom turns into a little kid at places like this.

 The girls also liked pushing their face into the nets.

 

It was a lot of fun!  It was nice place to wear the girls out. 

Zoo with the Parkers

The Parker family came to Salt Lake for Grandma Stirling's bi-annual conference lunch at Chuck-a-Rama.  It was fun seeing Grandma Stirling and all of the other cousins at the lunch too.  After the lunch we went to the zoo with the Parkers.  Lydia loved having Trey and Levi there with her.

Lydia had to hold Trey's hand most of the time at the zoo.  He is so good with her.  I love watching them together.

 The zoo has a new baby giraffe.  Compared to the other giraffes it is little, but it is still big for just a few weeks old.

 The animals were pretty active today which made it a lot more fun.  Lydia liked watching the sea lion.  The brown bears were also fun to watch.  One bear was on the log over the water and one was in the water under the log.  The bear in the water kept trying to pull the other bear off the log.  Finally the bear fell into the water.  It was funny watching them play.

 We also rode the carousel!  Lydia and Brooke both love it. 

 

 

 

 We all posed by the gorilla.  It is hard to get pictures of everyone looking at once.

 

 After the zoo they came over and rode Ivy and then we went to dinner and a new store in the area called Scheels.  The store has a ferris wheel in the middle of it.  The store had only been open for two weeks so the line was still pretty long.  We waited for almost an hour.  Brooke was getting a little tired while we were waiting.

 Lydia got to ride with Justin.  I had been on it before and warned him that he wouldn't love it because he is afraid of heights.  Lydia loved it though and kept looking back and forth trying to find Trey and Levi which rocked the cart they were in which only made Justin realize that I was right and he wouldn't like it. 

 Stacey and Levi both had fun too!

 Trey liked it more than Brandon.

 Lydia absolutely loved it.  She's not afraid of anything.  She says, "Me go up high sky!"

Brooke didn't get to ride it because she is too little so I volunteered to stay with her.  Luckily after eating a few snacks she decided to be happy again!

We had a lot of fun with the Parkers here.  Lydia asks often to play with Levi and Trey.

Wellsville Park

After family pictures we went to a park in Wellsville.  It is a fun park.  It has a big pond that has fish and ducks.  Lydia enjoyed feeding the ducks.  I love her little pose in her hat.  She insists on wearing a hat when we visit my parents because my dad wears a hat just like it.

 

 

 Both of the girls liked playing at the park...so did Justin.

 

Sometimes Lydia seems so big.  She loves being the one to push Brooke in the stroller.  She thinks she is being so helpful!

 However, at other times she still looks so little.  She is definitely a grandpa's girl.
