KOHL'S RANCH

We got to spend 2 weekends this summer just outside of Payson with Jason's family.  The first weekend was in June and we had great weather, went fishing, played in the creek, and enjoyed hanging out outside.  We just got back from our second weekend.  The weather was warmer and very humid, and we did get thunderstorms every day. But we still got to do some fishing and playing.

June trip to the lake for some fishing





Oh how this boy loves Uncle Davis!  
Playing in the creek and looking for crawdads 





It was back to the creek for some fishing with Daddy and Uncle Jay. 
Our cabins were great; I took these pictures from the back porch

Everyone watching the fisherman, who had no luck

All Brayden wanted to do was catch a fish.  So after two attempts with no luck, we took him up the road to the fish farm.  He was so excited.  We baited the hook, dropped it in, and fish bit immediately.  He pulled the pole, the fish was squirming, splashed him, and he stayed away the rest of the time.  Ugh.
So, mommy caught the first fish.  And I got a "you did a great job Mommy, I am so proud of you for getting that fish, thanks Mom".  I do what I can! :-)

What your learn at Sesame Street

We are trying to get our monies worth out of the passes we bought for the Science Center.  But being we got 8 passes for a year for 30 bucks and we have gone 3 times I would say we are doing pretty good.  But this time we got to got to go to Sesame Street.  Brayden has been asking for days to go.  He sees commercials on PBS and asked when we get to go.  Mind you it has only been open 2.5 weeks, but we finally went.  And we got go with some of our favorite people!

We had 5 adults to help monitor these 7 cuties (6,4,3,3,2,1.5,1)
 Hadley could follow Zach around all day


 So busy













 They could have watched Nana's pennies roll all day!

Prowl & Play

The zoo is having some evening events at the zoo this summer to try and get people out their and "beat the heat".  We were one of the  many suckers that thought going in the evening would be bearable, we were wrong.  It was HOT!  I think the kids had fun and they got to play in the splash pad, so I guess that is was worth it, but we won't be going back in August.  Zoo, we will see you again in the fall!

Hula hooping, kinda

 Bubbles



 Cooling off in the splash pad

 Watching the elephant get fed carrots up close


 INDOOR magic show.
 If I haven't said it before, Hadley loves Zach.  When she seems him she runs right to him.  Well at the magic show, she found what she thought was the best seat. Zach's lap.  
I think it is cute, and he is so good to her.  I think it is because he talks nice and is gentle to her, unlike another boy who will remain nameless. :-)

Pretty Girl

Oh this girl is going to be little bit spunky I think.  She is starting to ooze personality and I think she will keep me on my toes.  Her favorite thing to do is climb.  She knows what she wants and has learned from her brother and cousins how to not be pushed around.  I don't think these boys really know what they have coming!  I love those blue eyes with a little bit of mischief and that big smile.
