We're both exhausted, but it was worth it!

Today was $2 Tuesday at Thanksgiving Point. We loaded up early this morning, and headed down. I was expecting to hit all three attractions, but man, Dax wore himself, and me, out pretty quick!

We were 5th in line to the Dino museum, which meant we basically hit all the main attractions before it got packed. So we headed back in for a round 2. Dax LOVED the bones. (I maybe even lost him for a second... But in my defense, I was trying to keep up with him, and had a mini heart attack when I couldn't find him. I'm sure I lost 5 years off of my life!) These aren't my best pictures, but after that little scare, I wasn't interested in good photo's, as much as I was at keeping a close eye on him.








Next we headed over to the Animal farm. UGH. If Morgan would let me get a baby cow, I so would. Those things are adorable! And SOOO friendly. Dax went in to pet it's head, and got an unexpected 'kiss'. The brown cow in one of the pictures licked him from chin to forehead! It was so cute, and I'm sure so dirty, but he is a boy after all, right?


In case you were wondering, Dax wieghs about as much as a baby lamb!



The next picture was right before the 'kiss.' You can see the cow making googly eye's at dax.


Dax thought it was funny that this pony was playing dead... In reality, it looked like it was trying to itch it's back, but Dax couldn't stop laughing!



...ducks...


On the way out of the farm, I picked him up a fudge pop. It was kind of hot, so I figured he needed something to help cool him down.


Unfortunately, by the time we made it to the garden entrance, he had had enough. He threw a monster fit, which lead me to believe it was time to get some food in this kids belly. So we headed home! Next time we'll start with the gardens, and work our way back!

I miss those days...

When I could make Daxton laugh just by using the paper cutter!


 
I found a bunch of old videos on my ipod. Man I miss him being that little. He's growing up too fast!!

Just some cute video's

Seriously, could this kid get any cuter? I got the camera out to record Dax talking to the 'train' that Morgan drew on the chalkboard, and we ended up wiht a few cute videos!

Slip & Slide

We had some friends over this afternoon for a little summer fun. What started out as a game night, slowly turned into a 'help the boys go on the slip & slide' night. My friend Vanessa got some awesome play-by-play pictures of Dax. Hope you enjoy!

The Fun We Had At Pineview

Not much to say about these pics. Dax had a blast playing in the water, and we're all drained!

My Child Is Bossy!

Dax informed me that we needed to get in the car and I needed to drive him to see the trains. . .

Whenever we go to the store, I usually bribe him by saying, 'I'll drive you past the trains if you are really good.' Works every time! Only normally, I just drive him to the overpass so he can watch trax.

Today, however, we surprised him by taking him up to union station. I never realized how close this place is. Looks like we will probably be visiting quite a bit over the next few months!













These are a Few of His Favorite Things

My in laws got a HUGE swing set last night. Since we live in their basement, that means that Dax has access to it every day. I don't think he realized that last night when we had to drag him in the house kicking and screaming. . .

This morning, however, we took the puppy outside to 'do his business' and Dax excitedly yelled, 'Hey mom!! It's still here!!' and proceeded to run towards it.







It looks like we'll be spending most of the day outside. I couldn't even bribe him to come in for a cinnamon roll this morning!!
