July Fun

So July has already been a fun, busy month for us.

For the 4th of July we have a tradition of going to the Oakley Rodeo with the Child side of the family. I LOVE the rodeo! Ben went last year but I think he slept through most of it. We were curious to see how he would like it.

He had a great time.

He is really into horses right now so he loved looking for them.
Thanks Mom and Dad for the fun outting!



We of course went to the zoo again. Ben loves all the animals. The weather was a little overcast when we went which was great because the animals were more active. When the rain started it was not so much fun though. At least we stayed dry in the STINKY reptile house until the downpour ended.

Last time I said we went to the zoo, a friend of mine wanted a picture of the baby elephant. So here you go Callee. She is a very cute baby elephant for any of you who haven't seen her yet. We spend a lot of time looking at the elephants.


We also tried to take a cute cousin picture on the rhino but the only one who could climb up was James. It was a bit slippery.


Last week was Steel Days in American Fork so we went to the wonderful carnival thinking Ben would have a great time. Not so much. He finally got on the Merry-Go-Round horse just as the ride was ending. Dad was just holding him before that.

Then there were some boats with steering wheels that Ben kept pointing at. We thought we would give it a try. He was having a great time until the ride started going. He then spent the whole ride SCREAMING!

Judging by the look of the girl's face behind Ben, we are the worst parents ever.


Since I couldn't end with a sad picture of Ben, here is one of our new favorite pictures. I think he is just the cutest! I am not bias or anything though!
