McCall

Starting with the pics from my phone:

Lunch with a view at McCall Brewery.

Cold mornings with pre breakfast Cheerios.

Walks to the beach.

More hand holding!

Finally, a nap after two days of late nights.

This boy loves marshmallows!

Grandma cuddles

Huge trees!

Look how tall it is!

All he needs is a place to dig.

Firewood

Finally figured out the key to a good night sleep: winter coat and snow hat.

Ice Cream Zoofari

I didn't know if Benson would tolerate the umbrella stroller or if he was too big a boy for that. He decided he liked getting pushed around while he relaxed and ate ice cream!

We've never been to the zoo when the grizzly bears were so active! They were walking around and playing in their pond. The kids really liked them.

Although it has nothing to do with the zoo or even ice cream, the fire truck was a hit. 

Beautiful Run

Nice reward for running up this tough hill last night.

Of course, it was so much better in person!

Monday Fun

Centennial Park

City Creek Trail

Again with the hand holding...

What a trooper

A nice shady spot to relax. Blaise is in the background refusing pictures. 

Ellie knows how to pose!

He Has a Sister: Part 5

Bear Lake With the Lusk Girls!

Nothing hits the spot better!

Using Uncle Dave's fancy chair

First time on the boat this year! Only took us till August!

Abby figuring out the wakeboard 

Benson liked bobbing around in the waves 

Double the sugar!

Miah showing Ellie how it's done

Sticky mess 

Ooey, gooey

6:30 is too early Benson!

Tater tots!

Ellie was upset that we didn't play on the beach because of the crazy thunderstorms.

Mommy and Ellie?

Sunflower

The sunflower plant that Ellie and Daddy grew, then conveniently planted in the front of the flower bed, is finally taller than Ellie! She's a real gardener! Now we'll see if it blooms!
