Roadtrip

We had a great vacation visiting all our cousins. We went to the Idaho Falls Zoo with Megan, Kolton, Madi, and Landon. We had a FUN time.

Seeing how much the kids are growing--next to the tiger.
Ashton was mesmerized by the monkeys...

...And the lions!

The kids always love climbing on the tiger statue. They are getting so big!

We also spent some time in Utah with Tricia, Nigel, Ethan, Cameron and Leigh. I took Ashton and Jackson to the Hogle Zoo. Right now, it's "Zoorasic Park"...mechanical dinos scattered throughout the park. The kids had a great time riding the train.

Ashton and Jackson by the elephants.

It was fun seeing the baby elephant.

Jackson was really excited to see his favorite dinosaur, Tyrannosaurus Rex!!

After the zoo, we went swimming at our hotel. The kids swam for 4 hours!

Jackson jumped in about a million times. Lucky for us, I brought his "floaties" and he enjoyed being able to jump in on his own. He's a really good swimmer, but the pool was over 10 feet deep (and I had both kids by myself) so I made him use the floaties.

Ashton finally crashed...she took a great cat nap in the shade while Jackson swam. The kids LOVED swimming and had a great time.
