Fun weekend!

This past Friday was Shane's work's Lagoon day. We decided Lexi wouldn't enjoy it much, so we called on her second mom (thanks Kelly!) to watch her while we took Kaden out for a fun day! It was the first sunny day in a week and Lagoon was PACKED! Kaden was still too short to ride anything except the carousel and the train (big sarcastic "yippy"). Kaden's favorite part of the entire day was when we were eating dinner with Shane's coworkers because he got to run around on the grass. Yup, $8 for parking and we could have taken him to the park for free and he would have had more fun.

Kaden enjoyed people watching. Well, mainly the kids-not so much the adults. :)

On the train...Daddy is having fun, but Kaden is still kid watching.

This was the best pic we could get on the carousel. Our camera is too slow for anything except blurry pictures. Notice Kaden clinging to my arm for dear life.... :)

Saturday, we went to the zoo with Shane's family. I was really worried because of the rainy weather, but it turned out to be a perfect day for it. It was overcast, then sprinkled lightly for a few minutes (during which I changed diapers, so no big deal), then it was beautiful. Ten minutes after we left, however, it starting POURING. We were so glad we had decided to leave when we did! Here are lots of pics because you know I love to post 'em!

The elephant-my all time fav!

Lexi had a blast! I think she was just glad that we didn't leave her behind again. :)

Kaden did NOT like the big, fake elephant. When it would make noises, he pretty much freaked out. So, of course, like any good parents, we got a picture of it. :)

Rhino...our camera is not that dirty-this was through the window of the little zoo underground thingy place.

Yay for double strollers!

What Utes eat for breakfast...

Lexi still having a grand 'ole time

His face looked cute, but the claws did NOT.

Family pic!

And, of course, Kaden just wanted to run around and didn't care about the animals.

As much as we tried, this was the closest we could get Kaden to the "measure up" sign.

Kaden wouldn't hold still during lunch and was climbing all over the chairs. He fell down twice and hit the same spot on his legs, twice. Here he is showing off his battle wound.

And, of course, Kaden's favorite part: the playground!

Lexi sliding with some help from Dad.

Kaden was unsure of the teeter-totter at first, but then we couldn't get him off the dang thing!

Lexi and Grandpa Porter-so tired. Lexi was pretty pooped, too. :)

When you're little, all the world is a bench. :)

After the zoo, we went to Leatherby's (an ice cream place) that my uncle and aunt recommended (more like demanded we try...haha). It was SO GOOD! Better than Coldstone! We also went on the train at the zoo, but couldn't get any good pics with all of us in it. Anyway, it was a great day and a great weekend!
