Pool days are here!

Grandpa and Naomi

Well, maybe pool days are here. The weather is so funky here in Utah. But, last Monday and Tuesday were definitely hot enough for the pool. My dad has had his pool open for the last two months but this is the first time we've gone swimming. We didn't know what swimming device was the best for Naomi. She's too big to sit in a floaty. And a life jacket pulls her forward or backward in the water. So, we tried floaties and they seem to work out the best. We are still teaching her how to balance in the water on her own but she's caught on very quickly. My parents pool has a a shelf for her to walk around on but from time to time she likes to go out and venture. Naturally, it makes me very nervous. She inherited Chris's adventurous side which he loves. But, I swear she has no fear with most things. After two days of swimming she was jumping to Chris, going all the way into the water! We're thinking by the end of this summer she'll probably be a pretty good swimmer!

What's up?

All the kids at Wheeler Farm.

Naomi, Jake and Ben on the wagon ride.

This horse was abnormally big. Naomi kept walking up to it. And he nipped!

Random pic of Naomi playing with Mia. Mia just chills until she's had enough.

Cute!

Discovery Gateway's little playhouse.

Couldn't get enough of the water.

She thought this was so cool.

I'm a blog slacker. We've done some fun things in the last week and I haven't blogged about it. So, I'm just going to sum it up in this one blog. Last week we went to Discovery in Gateway with Hallie and Kelsey. That place is pretty cool. I'm not sure why they make parents pay when we're just standing by watching our kids play. But, Naomi seemed to have a great time. I think her favorite was the water system. She loved playing in the water with the balls and boats. By the time we left she was soaked! Her second favorite was probably the balls that swoop up in tubes. She thought that was hilarious.

We've been to the park about a thousand times! Sometimes twice a day! I would love to walk over to get some exercise but Naomi just wants to walk. And if I let that happen it would take all day to get there.

We also went to Wheeler Farm with Becky, Ben, Becca and her three kids. The last time I was there was in high school for country dancing night. I think Becca's oldest, Jake, is smitten with Naomi since I saw him give her a kiss on the lips! He's such a cute kid. As always, Naomi was running around not listening to a word I was saying. At one point, her and Ben were taking off and both Becky and I were yelling their names and we didn't even get a "look back". We had a good time though. All those kids hadn't seen each other since last summer. They'll see alot more of each other since we decided that we're going to have a set day each week when we meet up for swimming at my parents. I'm so excited!

Well, there you go. That's what my week was like.

We love animals

The goats were so cute!

After I took this pic she kissed the pig on the nose.

She also kissed this one on the nose.

She kept sitting on this sheep.

Yesterday, we went to Gardner Village's petting zoo with Lesley and Kolton. Both kids LOVED the animals. I think Naomi hugged, if not kissed, every animal. The baby goats are so cute. Lesley and I were saying we now want a goat. Naomi was cruising around screaming with excitement. Best two bucks I've ever spent. We'll definitely be back.

Zoo day

What was going on here?

On Monday, we went to the zoo with Becky and Ben. Those two really enjoyed themselves as you can see. They're so funny together. They get pretty wild and love to follow each other around. Becky and I notice that their ears are "turned off" when they're together. I guess they're having too much fun to listen to their moms! We love getting together with Ben. He is such a cute boy and so fun to be around.
