Utah AGAIN?

Well, yes we did make it down to Utah for a 4th time this summer. Another special occasion arose and we just had to be there. My grandpa turned 80 years old. What an awesome thing.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Gardner. We all love you!!!

Anyways, we wanted to have a little fun in Utah before the party so we found the Tracy Aviary. Its a really cool bird zoo. The kids had so much fun. It was hot, but they love birds. They even had an albino peacock. I've never seen anything like it before. The kids got to feed the pelicans, they really liked that even though they had to throw in fish. Timbo loved screaming and pointing at every single bird. We went to a bird show, it was a lot of fun.



(There is a bald eagle, albino peacock, bird in nest outside the bathroom, the boys, golden eagle, peacocks, the pelican food, the girls, and a cute pelican (his mouth can hold more than his belly can))

Outside of the Aviary there is a tiny little amusement park. Well its really just a couple of rides. So Siera rode on the planes with Timbo, the cars with Savana and the Ferris Wheel with Tomas. Then Tommy, Savana and Timbo got to ride the Carousel. It was great fun.

Here is just a little video of the kids on the Carousel. I'm not sure yet if Timbo had fun. He kind of had a scared look on his face and had a death grip on the pole.

After all that fun in the sun, we headed to the Gardner house. We got to see a lot more family that we haven't seen in a long time. I saw my cousin Beau, my uncle Darrell and aunt Dawn with their kids Laura, Sarah and Michael, then I saw my cousin's wife, Gina and their two kids, Riley and Taylor. Then my cousin Heather with her kids, Preston, Savannah, Tanner and Addison. My other cousin Jen and her kids, Mckylee, Stockton and Stetson. Then I saw Bob and Jasmine (my brother) with MR. and Josiah- by the way they are both ADORABLE! I also saw my aunt Val, aunt Milly, uncle Mike and then my cousin Jodi came at the end. And of course my grandparents. There was a lot of people there and we had so much fun. The kids ran and played, there was bubbles, and a pinata and FUDGE from Kirtland for the grown-ups. I always love to spend time with my family. Happy Birthday again Grandpa. Thank you for all you do for us!!!!!
