Staycation 2011 Day 4

Well today we went to the zoo. The habitats are a lot nicer than they were the last time I went there. But it was very, very hot! But we pulled a wagon with a cooler and a baby. And a stroller with Brecklyn or Logan, taking turns as they got tired. Tomorrow is the last day and we are going to Park City, hopefully cooler than in the valley!

Waiting for Jamie, who lost her ticket, but all was well, the girl just let her in anyway.

A falcon (I think) close enough to touch.

Waiting for the Animal Discovery show to start. It was shaded, but still very hot in here.

Brecklyn plays with the roly-poly armadillo. He rolls into a ball. He really was a cute guy.

When My mom and I and Tyson were in Texas, we got stuffed armadillos. So cute.

Baby Grayson sits in his wagon, eating snack. The Cheetos were great! He even looked under the seat below the cooler looking for ones he had dropped. Oh my, I doubt that the 5 second rule counts here...

This little guy enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed watching him. I wonder if he thought we were the creatures in the zoo, not him.

Mom, dad and baby out for a stroll. Baby is sooo cute and sweet. Can we take him home in the van? I think he MIGHT fit in the trunk if we lay down the 3rd row of seats???

Elephants were fun for all to watch. We didn't stay for the show, but I am sure it was fun to watch.

Rhino nap time. They enjoyed the shade just as much as we did.

Lemur Love.

Ride 'em, pardner!

The giraffe was a big hit with the kids.

A final train ride and then its time to go home. All a tired and hot little group!

A Little About Tyson Jacob

Tyson is a happy 9 year old with lots of talents and abilities. He knew the names of all the planets when he was just about 18 months old. He started talking at such an early age it was incredible. He seems to like basketball more than any sport and also enjoys baseball. He will start 4th grade in the fall of 2010. He has already traveled alot with me for his young years, to southern Utah, Texas, Germany and Switzerland. He is a real thinker and enjoys spending time with his grandpa Spencer, shooting, fly tying, golf and fishing.

A Little About Brecklyn Brianne

Brecklyn is the only girl in the family and so she has a special place in my heart. She is a pretty "Tiny Dancer" just like her mom always was. She is starting kindergarten in the fall of 2010 and just can't wait. She loves to go walking with grandma Sonja and never says no when I want to walk just a little farther. She makes friends easily and even makes friends at places such as the McDonald's playground. She has received several trophies at her dance performance competitions where her group seems to always get 1st place.

A Little About Logan Spencer

Logan is going to be in Pre-school in the fall of 2010. He is a very active 4 year boy. He enjoys soccer, just like his dad and basketball, just like his big brother, Ty. He and Ty are not at all alike and look and act totally different. It is hard to believe that they are brothers! Logan loves to play in the sandpile as my blog shows and doesn't think fishing is such a great sport. Afterall, why should it take so long just for one measly little fish? He learned to ride his bicycle at age 3 and loves to be grandpa's little buddy.

A Little About Grayson

He's here, born June 30-, on his great-grandmother's birthday. That makes him super special. 7 lbs. 3 oz. 18 1/2 inches. He's a little guy, blonde and sweet. He is definitely a "Momma's boy" and will only allow others to hold him for a very short time. Then he lets you know he is very unhappy. But I am sure this will change eventually and he will find out other people are fun and interesting too. We love this little guy and look forward to see what he thinks about his very first Christmas!
