Family Day

Today we had a family day. Brandon finished school this week, and so we decided to finally take some time and spend an entire day together out of the house, with just our little family. We took Ryker to the see the baby animals at This is the Place park in Salt Lake, and then we went downtown to see the new City Creek mall (FYI you can't afford to shop there) and to see the tulips at Temple Square. I wish I could bottle up Ryker's energy for the day and turn it into a drink, and then I could sip on the drink all day and have endless energy.

I really liked this park because the pony rides didn't cost any extra money. The sign said that riding the pony was a privilege, so it was free. Ryker rode twice.

Ryker talks about 2 things all day, one of them is horses (the other is Grandpa, he wants to know where Grandpa is all the time). He was SO excited to see the ponies. He could not stop neighing at all the animals.

I thought he'd be nervous to touch the animals, but he wasn't at all. His only concern was that they kept going "poo-poo".

He thought these hairy cows were dogs.

There was a little play village with little houses. He was very excited about this.

Ryker kept trying to pick the flowers at Temple Square. I'm sure somebody in some secret security room was watching us.

Get away crazy lady!
