Utah Trip... part 3

We were finally able to go down to the Aquarium in South Salt Lake. I've wanted to see what they have down there, so we went down with our Peffer cousins and their Peffer cousins... We had a great time. Now we can cross that off our list of things we never quite have enough time to get to!
Reese is not afraid of much at all. She's up for petting just about anything.
Holy cow! That's a big lobster!

These girls worked hard to get their nerve up to touch the sting rays. I'm not sure if Renae ever got around to it.


Posing for pics just to make Mom happy.... not going to happen many more times. They just don't understand how cute they are!
Every year, the girls get their pics taken on this cow, usually with our Brunson cousins. But this year we had to go solo. Their presence was surely missed. We did talk our friends, the Jensens, into an Animal Park visit. We had to punish them somehow for moving back to Utah and far away from us!

Reese misses Audrey and her brother Dallin something crazy (as do the rest of our family, too!) It was great to hang out with them again.
Reese was able to combine her two most favorite things... Audrey and swimming... Perfect Day!

Renae loves playing with the babies! Where was she when I had little babies? Oh ya, she was not much older than the babies! She'll make a great babysitter... in a few years!
More swimming... we had the whole outside pool area to ourselves that day. A great benefit of going 1 hr. before closing!
We got to visit with so many of our family that we never get to spend time with. Reese and her cousin, Noah from Washington enjoyed an afternoon without any older kids bossing them around. The 4 yr old's were in control! (with a little supervison from me...)
