Summer Vacation

I know it's been a while since I last posted, and we've had so much going on that I don't even think I'll be able to keep up to date for a little bit. But for right now, just wanted to report a little on our trip to Utah...which Jaxon and I are still enjoying... and wanted to post some pics of our fun times so far. We're out here for another two weeks, so hopefully Jack doesn't get too lonely without us and I'm sure we'll have some more fun pictures to post soon.
Family tradition with Jack's family is Cherry Hill, so we did that quite soon once we got into town.
Jaxon actually did not like the water at all and was not a very happy camper at the water park. :o( We even tried him in just the backyard with sprinklers and slip n slide, but he still wasn't that into it. Good thing Jack is though. :o)

We went to a rodeo in Ogden to celebrate Pioneer Day and had a blast with Jack's family.
Jaxon loved seeing all the animals and getting up close and personal with the bulls and we loved watching the mutton, bronco, and bull riding, sky divers, extreme motorbikes, and the fireworks show to end it all.
One of our funnest days was actually without Jaxon. Jack's mom babysat Jaxon for us all day long so we could go out and enjoy ourselves. We had such a good time. Thanks sooooo much Char!!
This is us enjoying the beautiful weather at the Gateway.
Jaxon has loved getting to know his cousins better on both sides too. We have loved hanging with both the Madsen and the Lau side of the family.
Another favorite day was going to the aquarium with Char, Jaxon, and I. We got to see lot of cool fishes and a big octopus and we even got to touch sting rays. Jaxon liked the sharks the best I think.
Well, this is starting to get reeeeeally long, so I think I'll just wrap up for now. Jaxon has been his little self since being out here in Utah and has found lots to get into.
This is his "I got caught" face.
And this is him showing off. :o) Well, always entertaining to say the least. We are loving being with family here in Utah and having lots of fun, but we sure miss our Ohio peeps too. :o) We'll have more to post soon.
