Utah

After our visit to Idaho, we spent some time in Utah with Jon's parents. Jon's sister was also there with her son and Mother-in-law. James loves this toy.

It is actually a pet shop, but it works great as a car garage. Jacob and Ethan watching TV.

We were able to go to the Hoggle Zoo while we were in Utah. The elephants.

The baby was throwing pooh on himself.

Rhino.

Getting a better look.

Eagle.

Hiding in the log.

Peeking through the hole.

Looks like he is trying to climb out the little hole.  Racing the seals.

After this post, there is a brief video of James and Ethan racing the seals. I thought I had a better video of it, but when I checked this is all I had.  Jacob and Jon.

Riding the carousel.

Took lots of shots to try and get a good one, which we did not accomplish.

James would not sit on one of the animals. Jacob and Grandma.

James and Ethan playing with Grandma's pillows.

Stickers!

Both playing on their parents "touchy screens."

It snowed a little while we were there.

Both wanting to sit on the same chair.

We ended up stopping back in Colorado on the way home, but I did not take any pictures then. It was a good trip.  A long drive, but good trip.

Seals

James and Ethan had fun racing the seals.

Fall

I love Michigan in the Fall!  I have said this many times before, but it is just such a wonderful season here.  I took this picture for my mom.

Last year she was here to watch the leaves change and then fall.  It drops a ton of leaves. It is beautiful when it changes colors.

I also love to go to Meijer Gardens in the Fall.  One day this month we met some friends there. Here is James and John looking out the window.

James loves this periscope in the sensory garden.

Spinning the wheel.

Love all the colors!  It was a rainy day.

We did not get too wet, and we had some fun.

Some Videos

Here are a few videos of Jacob. The first few are of him playing with a wagon. The last is him walking with a walking toy. Enjoy!

Random September

Here are some random pictures from September. Jacob love this toy microwave.

Happy Jacob.

Jacob standing.

Distracted by the TV.

James went to a birthday party with an Angry Birds theme. He brought this mask home and wore it for about a week afterwards.

Jacob's first pickle.

He actually loved it.

Waiting for Daddy so we can go for a walk.

Sometimes we take both strollers so James can ride in the front.

We love walking in our neighborhood.

So much more to blog to get caught up! Maybe I will get there someday.  Probably not.

Meijer Gardens

On September 28th, we went to play at Meijer Gardens.  We love our membership there! James loves to go through this gate.

I love Michigan in the fall!

James also loves the maze with musical instrument sculptures.

Jacob is happy in the stroller.

Following the bricks.

Tree house.

Inside the log cabin.

Puppets.

Look a frog!

Taste garden.

Pumpkins!

We love to go play and walk at Meijer Gardens!
