Weekend in SLC

The first weekend of August we headed in to SLC for a mini vacation/ birthday trip for Aidan. He's been wanting to go to the Living Planet Aquarium and we've been saying we'll take him. The first day I mostly tortured Cary and the kids by going shopping. ☺ When we got to Josh and Kiera's, Ella put Jordy to work.

 Josh gave the boys a ride on his bike.


 The next morning we headed to the aquarium. Noah, Abby, and Audrey met up with us there.

 The kids had fun trying to pet the little sting ray,
 playing a bingo game for shark week,
 they loved the little penguins and otters.


Ella in front of the Piranha's. (they are actually really pretty!)


Britton loved it there, and it sure was fun trying to keep up with him.



Cousins! Just missing Dillon, Cameron, and Gemma. (Clara is sort of in the picture)

After the aquarium we drove up to Farmington to eat at Parkstone and visit Kiera at work. It was fun, great food, and relaxing. (as relaxing as it can be eating out with 6 kids) ☺
It was a great weekend.

5 months old (Clara)

Clara turned 5 months a few weeks ago. ;)
-She is still the sweetest thing ever
-She popped two teeth around July 25th, thus ending our sleeping through the nights 
(nights haven't been too fun since then)
- She loves her big brother Aidan
-I'm still her favorite person though. ☺
-She's still getting the hang of sitting up
-We started her on solids this week and she loves eating!
-She refuses to roll over from tummy to back, but she's a pro at rolling from her back to her tummy.
 
I tried to narrow down the photos, but I couldn't. Sorry.
