Cowabunga Bay!

We ventured out the water park in Draper....Cowabunga Bay. Chris LOVED IT!! This was our second time there, and I decided to get an underwater camera to take some pictures at the park.


There's a HUGE bucket that fills up with water and then it tips over and dumps all this water down. He wasn't too thrilled with it.... not sure why he's plugging his ears.


He had more fun playing in the single streams of water



He liked these tiered "buckets" too



He thought it was so hilarious to let the water shoot him in the butt.... what a goof ball!




The Double Dogger


Mae Day


going down Hang Ten with mom... he had to ride with me on this one, its open on the top.... we still had fun on it



Lil Man playing on the "beach" of the kiddy pool..... orange/red slide there on the right is a fun one....

Yup, he can go down it all by him self.... this is the end of the orange/red one from above


Another big one.... yup he likes it too



Hanging with mom!


floating along the lazy river


He loved running into the kiddy pool


An underwater shot.... I was doing Hang Loose, but didn't get all of my hand in the picture.... not too bad considering I had my eyes closed



I love the bubbles coming from the little guy



swimming through the water



another underwater swimming shot




I LOVE this one!!




looking down at him swimming... he loves swimming around in the kiddy pool

kind of a fun shot underwater


taking a little break

Mount Nebo Scenic Loop

Christopher and I took a little drive up the Scenic Mount Nebo loop. Its a drive I've been wanting to go on for a while now. We tried back on Easter, but there was still too much snow up there and the roads were still closed. So we went today. I can't wait to go back when the fall colors start! Stay tuned for that one....




Looking back towards Nephi (looking south)



Looking up now :-)
I wanted to try and get a shot of him with some of the cool clouds behind him


Can't go without a Mommy and Me shot


What a face


I really liked this shot. With the back of Mt Nebo in the background with a little bit of snow left on it, and then some red rock in the foreground. I just really like this view


My little man, striking a pose



more of the back of Mt Nebo


Look how high up we are!!
Phew, that was a long walk



another shot back to the south


I think this was Yuba Lake, nice little view down the canyon



Looking down towards Santaquin and Utah Lake
nearing the end of our little drive

Little Baker!

I was chopping up some rhubarb that I had gotten from my mom. Chris came into the kitchen and asked if he could help me. I told him I was going to make a strawberry rhubarb pie, and he got very excited, so he helped me make the pie. He had to go and get his blue hat too. He told me it was his bakers hat. What a cutie!


Add some sugar


stir up the dry ingredients



mix in the strawberries and rhubarb



pour it all into the pie shell



weave the lattice top



bake & there you have a great looking strawberry rhubarb pie!




the chef approves of the final product!

He had so much fun making this pie, that he was begging me to make another one! I told him he had to wait until this one was gone, then we could make another one. He even asks me from time to time if we can make cookies. I think I might have a little baker on my hands now. I'm seeing lots of fun cooking adventures ahead for us.
