Wilson's Get Along With the Warners


Back in March we went to visit our good friends the Warner's.  No, not in beautiful San Diego.  In windy South Weber!  They have moved back to Utah and we went to stay in their beautiful new home for a few days. 

We were there on St. Patrick's Day.  Mandy started the day out perfectly for everyone with cute St. Patrick's Day settings, green eggs, green pancakes, and green syrup.  It was yummy!!



We got some bike riding in.  The Warner's live on a great street (not too busy) across from a caldesac.  It was a great place for all of us to ride. 




The Warner's cousins, the Elton's, live in the caldesac.  We were able to celebrate Gabe's 3rd birthday with a St. Patrick's Day treasure hunt.  The gold at the end of the rainbow were some yummy cupcakes.

Bubbles were a prize during the hunt.


We visited the Eccles Dinosaur Park at the mouth of Ogden Canyon.  There were there very life-like robotic dinosaurs.  Rubie and Eric would not stand in front of them for a picture.



Fay and Kimball were not too afraid though.

There was a small museum inside with some displays and artifacts.  The displays outside were very cool.  We could here the volcano in the background erupting and all kinds of dinosaur noises.




For some reason the kids could not resist leaving the dinosaurs alone.  They had to touch.  I kept reminding them there was no touching.  But it didn't do any good.







At the playground, we were free to touch and even climb on the dinosaurs as much as we wanted.




Rapunzel, let down your hair.




We had so much fun in March, that in May when Mitch went out of town for a few days, we headed up to play again.

We went to a park where Mandy and I were each able to get a run workout on the trail around the park.  The kids had some fun time playing and biking.


Rubie made friends with some older girls that though she was just so cute.


This sequence of pictures of the kids in the bathtub is so funny.  I put the kids in the bathtub and then put bubbles in.  After I poured in the bubble bath Fay told me I didn't have to put bubbles in because the jets will make bubbles.  The jets exponentially increased the bubbles from the bubble bath.  Most the kids thought it was hilarious.






















They were so soapy I had to rinse them off in the shower.


They were pretty mellow at night after playing hard all day.  A movie and popcorn was a good activity.

Stories and teeth brushing together.

A picnic lunch on the back patio.  The weather was beautiful most of the days during our week there.
