Brent's Birthday

On Brent's birthday we met Carol and her kids at the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point. The kids were all so excited to go.

Brent and Tacie have a big squeeze at lunch

Getting these guys all to pose for a photo is very VERY hard.
Canyon, Lilly, Brooke, Tacie, Ian, Kedrick, and Brent...... Brian is missing. =(

Throughout the museum the kids had several poses that they wanted photographed. Ian, Brent, and Kedrick riding something mysterious.

Brent and Ian playing in the water and sand dig.

All of these guys barely weighed as much as a tiny dinosaur. Scary!

The Shark attack! Lilly is hilarious. Ian, Brent, Kedrick, Lilly, and Canyon.

It was really a great time at the museum. The kids were all really good. They were all thrilled.

Moose in our yard

One great thing about living in Park City is that you get to enjoy a lot of wildlife.

This cute family of Moose came and spent the day in our yard.

When it was really hot, they found a shady spot right next to our neighbors house.

They do steal a lot of leaves when they eat. They especially like the red leaved plants. Those are all now bare.

Snowbird 2009

The yearly Snowbird Trip with the McEntires always is a swimming extravaganza.

The kids love to get to see their cousins and swim until they can not swim anymore.

We did go up and experience the mountains summer activities. Brent enjoyed the "Bouncy slid"

Lilly on the bungy trampoline

Ian did awesome on the bungy trampoline doing flips.

Sadly I don't have pictures of all the activites, but we also went on the Alpine slide. The kids also did the zip line, and went up on the tram.

It was a great time!

The 4th of July

Our 4th of July was a whirlwind!
First we toured Vancouver......
Gastown Vancouver, B.C. was totally beautiful. This is the steam powered clock.

Okay seriously!? I had to document this car in Gastown.

We also chartered a sea plane that flew us above Vancouver for 45 mins. Brent was so excited to go.

Not only that... He was asked to co-pilot. He was a little nervous but after he realized how great it was he was thrilled. He was the only person who had a mic so that he could talk to the pilot.

The sights were unbelievable. It was totally awesome.

Brian and I were glad we landed safely! We had never taken off of water, or for that matter landed on it before. What a thrill!

We also crossed back to America so that we could celebrate the 4th back in Seattle.

Brent and the Boys waiting for the Fireworks to start.

Some really cute family sitting next to us took all of our picture. Thank you!!!

Vancouver, B.C.

We went to Canada on July 3rd..... Not knowing what to expect.

The view from our hotel was fabulous and we debated staying longer in Vancouver rather than staying another night in Seattle.

The public market in Vancouver was Fabulous.

We had great food, Fresh made to order food, and fresh fruit and vegetables.

After walking past table after table of amazing fruit and vegetables, Brent walked away with a Pez dispenser!

Brian did a bit better with his choice. A home made chocolate bear.

Seattle

The view from out hotel room was awesome.

Brent really loved this pirate store.

@ the Seattle Aquarium

On July 2nd we went to the Seattle aquarium

When you first walk in there is a wginormous tank that covers an entire wall. It was truly amazing. Camera's can not capture the full grander.

Brent was a little apprehensive to progress through the aquarium. He was afraid there were sharks.

This aquarium was a totally hands on experience that had lots of fun photo places for kids. Obviously Brent and Brian tried them all out.... But I'm only posting one ;-)
