Visisting Great Grandma in California

Last week we went to California to help Grandma after her recent car accident. Grandma is doing well, in fact it was hard to make her act like a patient. On Thursday we decided she would benefit from some "beach therapy". We all had a great time and Grandma loved soaking up the rays.

Having fun pool side!!!

Up up and away!

The plane ride home proved to be very entertaining. Jason was lucky enough to have his own window set. He had a great time playing with the shade. He was quite a good traveler on the way home from our fun vacation.



















"Wow look at all those tiny cars and buildings"

At the Mile High City

Jason had fun play with Grandma Jeanie in Colorado. He also got to see his cousins Anna and Will.























Jason gave Dad a Fathers Day snuggle. Vacations can be tiring! Dad also got a very cool radar detector for Fathers Day. Now Dad can let the race car driver in him come out.

FUN IN IDAHO

Sarah and I raced up the side of an old volcano. I am not sure who won. The wind was so strong it about blew us
over.




















One day while we were in Idaho we went to Craters Moon. We explored all of the volcanic formations and rocks. It is a very unique and beautiful landscape. We brought a picnic with us. Jason ate almost all the strawberries and was very upset when we ran out.



We had so much fun at the Hogle Zoo that we decided to check out the zoo in Idaho Falls. Jason and I watched the lion snooze in the hot afternoon sun. Jason and Dad pet the goat in the petting zoo. We had great day at the zoo with Grandma Gloria and Aunt Sarah.

We all met Grandma Gloria for lunch in the park. Jason showed off his new walking skills and enjoyed a swing with Dad.

Jason was happy to see Great Grandma Ricks and see her new house.

Our visit to Grandpa Ricks's and the Zoo

The waterfall was very fascinating.

Mommy's friend Emily came to the Zoo just to visit Jason and hang out for the day. Boy is she fun to have around.

Jason found a great way to stay cool by stealing Ice from Grandpa Ricks's drink cup.

Grandpa Ricks and Jason are checking out the wildlife at the zoo.

A day at Hogle Zoo with Dad, I even got to ride on his shoulders a while to get a better view of all the animals.

Grandpa Dave Stops By

Grandpa Dave came through town for the first time since we moved here and gave Jason a tour of his truck. He came in Thursday night (May 24) and we all went out to dinner, Jason even got to stay up past his bedtime by three hours. Grandpa stayed the night and we enjoyed his visit. All of us are hoping he'll haul more onions and come visit again.

Party time

Jason had lots of friends at his party, who were all eager to help him open presents.
