Baby Animal Days

Mary was kind enough to invite us up to see Baby Animal Days in Logan last weekend. I drove up with the Kids Friday morning and planned to just stay for the day. The lines to get in were so long, but thanks to Mary we didn't have to wait at all! We stayed all day and we had so much fun that we had Mike drive up from Salt Lake when he was done with work. We ended up staying at a hotel and we all went swimming that night. We went to Baby Animals days on Saturday and spent most of the day enjoying the great weather and fun. The kids had a blast and there was so many things to do. We made crafts, played games, held all the baby animals, rode a pony, watched a puppet show, went on a treasure hunt, played in the Teepee's, held snakes (well not me), held baby turtles, saw the Easter bunny, went on a wagon ride, shot a bow and arrow... the list goes on and on. Tanner threw a tomahawk and Brooklyn became best of friends with one of the mountain men. He actually said he wanted to bring her home with him, and I think she would have gone happily. The highlight of the trip was watching Tanner star in Mutton Bust'in! He was the first kid of the group to go. He got right on that sheep and went right down. I think he stayed on 2 seconds at the most. The best part was, after his body slam to the ground he threw up his fingers and gave a number 1 on the dirt. Then the clown helped him up and he threw his fist in the air to the crowd! He was by far the best to watch. All the other kids just burst in to tears. We even heard someone a few rows back say that he was the funnest one to watch! Thanks Mary!

I am so jealous of all the fun! You should bring some fun with you to VA! And tell Mike to get a haircut....

Yay for Baby Animal Days! It was so fun having you guys up here. And having Tanner and Brooklyn at work was the best. "Ib Mawee heeo?"

I got to talk to the rodeo clown that helped Tanner. She said he was the coolest kid there, and she wishes there were more like him.
