3 day weekend fun...

We love a good 3 day weekend, so we didn't let this Memorial Day weekend go to waste. We started Saturday morning by heading up to Heber City for the Day out with Thomas on the Heber Creeper. Arnold was lucky enough to score some free tickets from work.

Reese has really never watched Thomas the Train, but she does occasionally watch Chuggington, so she knows what a train is and she thought Thomas was pretty cool.


The train ride wasn't the most exciting ride ever, but Reese had a good time watching all the cows and horses go by.

Reese has been really affectionate lately. She loves to give spontaneous hugs and kisses to her mommy and daddy. I caught these on camera.


This is the Heber Creeper Steam Engine.

They had some music playing over the loud speaker and Reese started busten out her moves. This girl loves to dance.


It's pictures like this one that make me realize my baby really is no longer a baby. She looks so grown up hanging over the bench.

Reese got a balloon butterfly that she was more interested in chewing on than playing with.


After our day out with Thomas we headed home for lunch and a nap. Later in the afternoon we decided to take a long bike ride as a family. Reese is loving her bike trailer this summer. Our ride was about an hour and a half, but about 30 minutes in Reese zonked out. So while mom and dad got a really good work out, Reese took an evening siesta. It was a great day!

On Monday we got up and took off on another bike ride with our friends the Gardner's. We road to a local park for a picnic and some play time. Half way through the ride, for some reason Reese decided she wanted out of the bike trailer and wasn't very happy until we got to the park.

This is Reese and Gavin Gardner relaxing after the ride.

How cool is Gavin in his shades! Such a cutie!

On the way back Gavin was nice enough to let Reese ride with him, and Dave was nice enough to pull both of them! I owe you Dave!

After our bike ride and picnic we headed home for naps. After naps we headed to the Lindon Pool for our first swim of the summer. It felt soooo good. Sorry no pictures, but trust me it was fun and refreshing. After the pool we barbequed and relaxed.

By the end of the day we were all exhausted! We had such a fun weekend.

This is Reese relaxing. Her new favorite teddy is one of my old teddy bears. It's about the same size as her, but she loves to snuggle with it.

I bought you that teddy bear when you graduated from high school.

Correction, Mom bought you that teddy bear when you graduated from high school and I gave it to you as a present. I am so thoughtful.

What a fun weekend! Mindi I've decided that as Reese looks a lot like you, she is like a mini-you! How cute!
