Cousins

Every year when Jason and his brothers go backpacking we have a fun week of activities getting the cousins together.  We didn't get in as much this year but here are some pictures of a couple fun outings.

My sister-in-law found out about this water activity sponsored by Radio Disney at the Gallivan Center.  Here's Kaitlyn going down the water slide.

Of course like anything in Salt Lake there were lots of people and long lines for two minutes in the bounce house.

The petting zoo there was lots of fun for the kids but I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the animals who must have been totally overwhelmed by the amount of kids!

Just when the kids thought all the fun was over we spotted the fire truck at the bottom of the stairs.  At first they were just letting kids climb inside the truck to see it but the best part of the afternoon started when they turned the hose on!

We loved having Vance's daughter Daniel visiting from Louisiana!

The next day Jana and Melissa and their kids joined us too and we went to the splash pad in South Ogden.

The pictures aren't the greatest and I didn't get half the kids there because I found it awfully hard to photograph kids moving that quickly.  There aren't any pictures of Kaitlyn because a lady at the park offered her a bag of pretzels and a jar of peanut butter and she wouldn't stop eating the whole time we were there!  I'm sure the lady must have thought I never feed her!
