Fun Trip


The drive was long, but the vacation was fun. We left on Sunday (I know, not a good thing, but it was spur of the moment decision to go) and Jacob did a great job on the 12 hour drive.


The rest of the week was spent visiting with Kristina and family. Mom and dad were able to take naps, Jacob got to play with his cousins, and we all had fun. They had several toys that he loved to play on. A scooter...
Looks like he is turning and falling. Actually the scooter can stand by itself and Jacob was standing on it--until he tipped over. This is the action shot of that happening. He started to go down before we could catch him.

Jason and Jacob took me out to lunch

We took him swimming. Here he is all dressed and ready to go with his cousin Tanner.

But once we got there he cried. I think he was tired. It was 6 p.m. Arizona time, but 7 p.m. Utah time. He ususally goes to bed around 7 p.m.

You can kind of see that it is a water park type of pool, but it is shallow enough for kids. They have a lazy river, slides, etc. It was a fun place, but Jacob didn't see it that way. :)
Jacob loved this! We'd go around and around in their cul de sac. He feels like a big boy.

We had a great time and did not want to come home. Tanner, Krisina's 6 year old, told Jason that he should quit his job and we should come and live with them. Jason told him he needed to work. Tanner said, "You could work at Edward Jones!" (That is where Tanner's dad works.) Jason said, "I don't know how to do what your dad does there." Tanner said, "It's easy! All you have to do is talk to people and sign papers." I told Jason that he could probably do that and maybe he has a future at Edward Jones.
Our last night there we all went to dinner at Olive Garden. All the kids were great!

Thanks Kristina, Shane and kids!

Could Jacob look any cuter in his swimming suit, rashguard and sandals? I love little boys getting ready for the pool. I'm glad you had a great trip. You deserve it!

I really wish we could just get away like that. Sometimes a road trip cures what ails ya!

What a cute little group you guys are!

Your trip looked really fun! I also loved Jacob's birthday pics. So cute! It's been fun seeing you at mom and dad's this week and I think that Jacob is starting to warm up to me... well maybe not me, but to Dusty for sure! :)

Yes, the drive is long from here in AZ to UT or visa versa, but always well worth it when visiting family. So glad Jacob is an easy traveler. That makes it SO much nicer:0) What a cute boy!
