This weekend we had so much fun. We spent our weekend in as a family. Day one we went and decorated graves with Grandpa Rick and Grandma Letty (Letty cringes every time you call her grandma so we love to do it) then day 2 we spent at Hogle zoo in SLC. Alivia and Mitch enjoyed getting to see all the neat animals. Austin and I enjoyed it too but not nearly as much. Day 3 we went and explored the gateway mall and the children's museum. Enjoy the pics!!!
We started out at American Falls cemetery and decorated graves for Mitch's dad's family, including the above grave Mitch's grandma Mandi. She passed away this last year.
Here are Austin and Alivia patiently waiting for us to finish. Austin woke up towards the end and they were both all smiles.
Here is Mitch's dad and Austin. You can't tell by this picture but there is a lot of resemblance between the two!
Then we ventured on to Pocatello to do my family and McKay. Here is a picture of the finishing product of McKay's. The airplane and new post were curtosy of Grandpa Rick and Grandma Letty. Thanks.
Day 2 -- Off to the Zoo!
Alivia took some time getting used to the zoo! She loved it as long as she was in the stroller or I was holding her. Every now and then we could get her to walk around.
This is what Austin did the whole first half of the day --What a good boy!
Then when he woke up and ate. He was even better.
Here is Alivia waiting paitently for the train. OK in this picture she looks like she is being patient but she only sat for a half a second. Long enough to get a picture.
Here we are on the train. Alivia enjoyed it more then it looks like. She didn't know the girl taking our picture so she wasn't going to smile.
After the train ride we went over to the play land and on the way we stopped to feed the gosling. 
At the play land we made Alivia pause a few times for some photo opportunities. 
At the end of the day we couldn't leave without some hogle zoo merchandise to remind us our zoo adventure. So Alivia and Austin got matching hats!

Here it looks like Alivia is being nice and allowing Austin the pleasure of riding in the front. The truth is we couldn't get Alivia to get out of the back and Austin was becoming to heavy to carry~ so we stuffed a blanket in with him, harnessed him in and prayed he wouldn't fall forward.
After the zoo we enjoyed dinner at the Macaroni Grille and took a nice long swim at the hotel.
Day 3 --The Gateway/Children's Museum
Alivia was not in the best mood on this day! By the time the museum opened it was noon and she was already starting to show the wear of the busy weekend. We did get her to do a few activities such as shopping (her favorite thing to do)!
She even tested the produce to see how fresh it was!
Then we went over and she played in the garden.
And of course Dad had his fun with the helicopter. Which actually scared the living daylights out of Alivia. Dad turned on a button which makes the helicopter sound like it is taking off and she was not impressed with him.
Needless to say that ended our short time at the museum! We then got some lunch and headed back home to Pocatello.

Your family is so cute. If you haven't noticed, i finally got tons of pictures. I hope those last for a couple of weeks! I guess I'm just not as good at this as everyone else. You need to get Jessie to join the blogging world!
