Utah Extravaganza!!

We were so lucky to be able to fly out to Utah for Easter. We were worried about the plane ride (okay, rides, we had 2 layovers!) but the boy's did really well. Thank heaven for portable DVD players! Of course, the first thing Abraham did when he got to Grandma's was find the cars.

The first thing Tyler did? Find the trains!!!We loved all the time we were able to spend with cousins. We went to dinner one night at Ken's brother, Kale's home. They have a ton of pets and animals and the kids loved it. Okay, mostly Abraham loved it. We had a hard time dragging Tyler away from their collection of Thomas trains.

Of course, playing "weapons" and Superheroes with the triplets was a highlight. With a Hulk hand on one arm and Wolverine claws on the other and 3 boys catering to him, Abraham was in heaven.


Tyler finally dragged himself from the trains to play with Chip the dog. It was so funny because Chip kept licking him and Tyler licked him right back!


We also went to dinner at Ken's sister, Carie's home. I didn't have my camera, which is unfortunate because Abraham put on quite the show playing the keyboard in RockBand. Tyler (do we see any habits here?) spent the evening in the play room with....yep, trains.


We were also able to head up to Copperton to visit with Grandpa Bodily. It was great to see him and talk for awhile. Unfortunately our camera ran out of battery, so this is the only picture we got. More Utah pictures to come... stay tuned...

Glad you got a picture with Grandpa. Looks like a fun time. Like the way your stomach miss most of the pictures. (On purpose I suppose)

Danny and his cousin Patrick, both LOVED Thomas trains. If you consider investing in one or two play systems, I recommend wooden train sets for pre-schoolers, and Legos for elementary and up. Those two systems have provided hours upon hours of entertainment to my boys and their friends. Infinitely flexible, adaptable, manipulable, modular, reconfigurable, and scalable. Somewhat portable. Trains are easy to clean up; legos are less so.

Cute kids!

I'd recognize Aunt Sue's basement anytime. But where are the old Dungeon and Dragon trinkets that Ken use to have down there? That is what Adam wants to see!!
