School

How exciting....Carson is now in "big kid" school. He loves kindergarten and comes home with a new story for me every day. I'm becoming more aware of this schooling stuff and have even figured out the carpool and pickup lanes at the school. Carson made sure I didn't forget to take a picture of spiderman. These things are very important.
I honestly didn't realize how tall Carson was for his age until the first day of school. Here's a couple of his friends from the neighborhood that are in his class. I think there's only one other girl who's as tall as he is.
Here's Nathan on his first day of Pre-school. Once again, we had to show off our back packs.

Zoo

Emily and I met at the zoo and had a great time. Now that I look at this picture and see the big strollers and all the kids...I realize why I was so tired at the end of this day :-)
Can't go to the Zoo without riding the train
The new merry go round is pretty cool

This merry go round features all the endangered animals.

Timp Cave

We had a free Saturday on our hands and decided to hike through Timpanogos Cave. I had no idea how steep the hike was, but the boys pushed through it....with a lot of rest stops along the way :-)
Jackson had a grand-ol' time just chillin and enjoying nature
One of the few arch ways along the hike

A little bit of sand never hurt anyone

Ben brought his telescope to do some star gazing....but after seeing how crazy the kids are with it, he might hold off on this activity for a few years :-)
The WHOLE gang!

Bear lake

Its my favorite time of year.....our bear lake family reunion.....one of the few times my entire family is all together :-)
