Daddy-daughter camping trip

Bryson took Eleyna up to Snake Creek in Midway for an overnight camping trip at the end of September. (Hunter and I enjoyed a quiet night just the two of us for the first time since she was born!) They slept in a tent and everything. The next morning Bry cooked breakfast and took Eleyna for a ride on the fifty. She loved it!

I thought it was so neat of Bryson to plan this and execute it all on this own.

Holly and Rowen

Good friends make life so much more enjoyable! Lately, we've been able to spend some time with two dear friends, Bryson's cousin Holly and her son Rowen. Our activities have consisted of lap time at the Orem and Provo libraries, and trips to the Bean museum and Thanksgiving Point. I love hanging out with Holly! We have a lot in common, but my favorite thing is probably our shared love of good books. Holly is very understanding of my need to do things at a certain pace because of Hunter and accomodates me so that we can get together. That means a lot to me. At the Bean museum the kids got to feel different animal skins,
see pictures of animals,
and even meet a friendly lizard. Hunter was the only one brave enough to actually touch it (with some help from mom).
We saw lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

On our visit to Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country the kids got to go on a pony ride. It was a little scary at first but by the end Rowen didn't want to get off.
Eleyna didn't want to touch the saddle for some reason so I had my hands full making sure she stayed on the pony during her ride.

Thanks Holly and Rowen! We sure love you guys.
