What You've Missed - Part 2
12 years ago
The kids and I were invited by Doug and Jessie to the the Dinosaur Park up in Ogden this weekend. We received a map when we purchased our tickets and set out into the park with Gayson strapped in his stroller we where ready for the day. London, Jayke and Olivia quickly took off to play in the nearest playground. The dinosaurs were places around the edges of the trail with speakers near by that growled like dinosaurs should. The noise really freaked Grayson out and he was out of his stroller and into Doug's arms. :) "MONSTER'S"
The trail wound around the park showing off various Dinosaur sculptures, the sun was out and warmed us up quickly. The gift shop was a good place to cool off for a minute, so we let the kids wonder around looking at all the toy. I let the kids know that we wouldn't be buying anything in the gift shop, but that they could do the treasure hunt inside the museum.
The Museum had a cool skeleton of a mammoth and a few other dinosaurs, but the treasure hunt was the main objective for the kids, well come to find out the it was $7 a person to hunt for ten minutes. What a ripe off. I had to tell the kids that there was no way i was paying for that, so we returned to the gift shop and they both bought galaxy goo for $3.... I'm cheep when it comes to that stuff.
Grandma and Grandpa had dinner going when we got home and we were all hungry. Thanks! After eating we all headed to the pool, it had cooled down a lot and the water seemed so cold to me. Of course London and Jayke never seem to mind, but it took me a long time to get up the nerve to get in. It felt like we had been going all day and it really wasn't that late. We got home and turned on a movie and we were all out like a light.

Today my friends Nick and Kendra invited me and the kids to go boating with them. We arrived at the lake about 9:30 and the water was perfectly smooth. Kendra was first out on slalom ski, she has been doing this forever and is really good. Nick followed and is just as good, I went, two ski's of course. It's been years and year since I've been water skiing. It was fabulous, I'd forgotten how tired it makes you.
London really wanted to try so she was next to go. Nick had to go out in the water with her to help keep her ski's in front of her.. they were big so she struggled with them. The first time the boat started to pull her and the rope slipped out of her hands, the second time she held on to the rope but her ski's feel off... we forgot to mention one little detail to poor London- that she could let go of the rope when she feel. After dragging her a few yards face in the water, she was done trying. Lol.
Jayke never did warm up to the water, and told me I was mean when I insisted that he get in. London did ride the tub and had a great time, we didn't through her off of course. ;) 5 hours on the lake and we were all exhausted. The kids slept on the way home.
Thanks Nick and Kendra for a great time.........
We spend most every Saturday swimming at Grandma's house. It keeps the kid entertained and mostly because it's free :) After a few hours swimming a nap always sounds so good. So when we got home the kids watched Mr. Beans Holiday ( lame!!! ) while I took a little nap :)-
We walked down to the park because they were anxious to get out of the house again. I was happy to find a Red Box at the Maverick on the corner, so I returned my movies there, instead of having to make a special trip to the store. The clouds had started to move in pretty quickly as we headed to the park. It was a only about 10 min before the rain came. We all walked quickly back home. I had to smile at how cute Jayke and London looked running away from the rain. h
