Raingutter Regatta
Michael built a great boat over the last few days, and Joshua even made a cardboard boat to sail. Jacob made one as well, but he broke it before we left home. Too bad.

Vacation in Utah!
On Saturday we enjoyed the Santaquin Orchard Days Parade. It is amazing how much candy was thrown and even more amazing how much candy Joshua was able to collect. We had to collect in one bag, so the little kids didn't feel bad for not getting as much. And what is even better . . . we still have plenty of candy to bribe the kids with!
Then, on Tuesday we played at Thanksgiving Point! They had $2 Tuesdays which meant that all of Utah County was there but fortunately they were going to the Dinosaur Musum, so we headed over to farm where a baby calf was born just that morning! It was really cute and still had the umbilical cord attached. They loved all of the animals and Jacob pet every animal he could! Then, we waited in an hour line to go on a horse ride. It was quite a wait but well worth it!
Today we did something pretty daring but awesome! We hiked up to the Timp Caves and took the tour. Bryce, my friend from HS/BYU, gives tours and hiked up with us and his family. It was great to see him and fun to hike up! The boys did a great job! We actually had a hard time keeping up with Joshua--so much energy in that one. The cave tour was incredible. It was great to see a cave in its natural state. The formations were incredible, the stories fun and the ducking and squishing through small crevices fabulous! It was interesting to think of what it would be like to discover and explore a cave.
The boys even worked hard to become jr rangers! And it filled the time before the tour!
Then, we had to race down the mountain because Jacob had to go to the bathroom. He even beat us all down! When it is time to go, it is time!
So, thanks everyone for hanging out with us, playing with us and helping us to have a fun vacation. Now onto the family reunion!
