Utah Part V: Spencer's Birthday

For Spencer's birthday we all got to go to the local water park. As you can see they all had a great time. There were just way too many funny pictures.

They had a small water park for the little kids, but Sadie just wasn't very interested. But Grandma Hildebrand took her down the "Big" little slide.

Top is Gma & Sadie at the top of the slide; Bottom is Gma & Sadie about halfway down.

Gma got ambitious and took Sadie down one of the calmer big kid slides.

As you can see it still wasn't mild enough. Sadie was not to happy at the end.

Gma kept Sadie above water at the bottom of the slide which Sadie actually enjoyed!

After the water park we all headed back to my brother's house for cake and fireworks. Here is Spencer blowing out his candles.

Utah: Part IV - Bear Lake

Bear Lake was beautiful. The weather was nice until the end. It decided to open up a lightning storm while we were at the lake. There was even strikes on the lake. The skies opened up and just started pouring so we quickly gathered everything and headed to the vehicles. Poor Kyson & Jace both got beach umbrellas to the head the wind was blowing so hard. Fortunately it was at the end of the day so we got to play for quite a bit before it all happened.

The kids had themselves a great bunker!

The Jensen's boat

What's super funny about Sadie and this boat is she wouldn't stay out of the boat while it was on dry land. But as soon as it got in the water she wanted nothing to do with it.

Sadie loved swimming in the lake. She could go out pretty far and still touch.

After we packed up we headed into town and got one of the best Raspberry Shakes I've ever had. Bear Lake and the surrounding area is very well known for their raspberries and now I know why. YUMMY!

Utah: Part III - Camping

Sadie got to experience camping for the first time while we were in Utah. She had a lot of fun playing with her cousins and their friends and especially climbing into the boat.

Most of the kids...

We got her a little camping chair with the Disney princesses on it. She felt like a big girl.

Roasting a marshmallow for the first time. She was very cautious about the fire.

Spencer and Tiko

A friend of my brothers brought some jiffy pop and they popped it over the fire. It was super yummy. All the kids were capitvated by the rising container of popcorn.

Utah: Part II - Soap Camp

One of the fun things that we got to do while we were visiting was go to Soap Camp. We got to make soap and bath salts...basically a spa bag full of goodies.

Here's the whole group minus Sadie. She didn't make it the entire time as she was in desperate need of a good nap.

Utah: Part I - Cousins

Let me just start off by saying...I forgot my camera at home for this trip. Luckily my hubby was kind enough to send it to me. So for the first part of our visit I only had my camera phone.

Miss Sadie

This day was a very hard day for Sadie. First she got stuck under a fence and on top of an ants nest. She had hundreds of ants crawling all over her and it was kind of hard to get her unstuck. But we finally did. After a nice relaxing bath she decided she needed more drama and got her head stuck in the stair rail. Poor baby!

On our way shopping. Sadie got to ride in a big girl booster seat next to Jace. Spencer is in the back...you can see him peeking over the seat.

Sadie thought she needed to run with the big kids. Unfortunately she doesn't usually play in the front yard at our house (too much traffic) so she had to be rounded up a few times. This time she was visiting a neighbor's garage, just to make sure everything was ship shape.

This was Sadie's bed while we visited. She needed to have a tent every night.
