Happy Pioneer Day!!

I say Happy Pioneer Day, but really...we did very little "traditional" celebrating- which usually includes parades, fireworks, etc. Instead, we took advantage of Adrian's 4-day weekend and had some fun. On Thursday we went to the SLC Aquarium. It's small, when compared to the aquariums in CA that we grew up on, but the kids loved it.

Here's Thomas next to the octopus and star fish.Hailey and I pose by the coral reef tank. She loved all the "Nemos."

Hailey and Daddy looking at some trout! They had a large section on "fish in Utah."


Daddy thought it was fun to see if Hailey could balance on her tummy by the large pool of water holding sting rays...hmmm.... fun??

On Friday, we went on an adventure and drove to East Canyon State Park. It's up near Morgan, UT. It was a sunny, hot day, but thankfully, up in the mountains, it was a bit cooler! There were some great sandy beaches and we had a fun time swimming in the lake. We didn't stay as long as wanted to as Hailey decided it was time for a nap...and apparently the lake is not her ideal location for a nap! Poor girl. We had a fun time though!

Adrian and Thomas swam out to the end of the dock. The water felt sooooo nice! Hailey gets a snack in the shade. Adrian & I rarely get pics of the two of us anymore. We were all set up to take a pic and a nice man offered to take a pic for us. Sweet! Unfortunately, he took the world's WORST picture- all shadow...so we took one of our own.
