And other randomness

So, yes, I've done four posts today.  It's feast or famine around here.

Chris had a birthday.  We made the traditional birthday Creme Brulee.  What, you don't do that at your house?

First day of First Grade.

We went to the new Natural History Museum of Utah.  Lots of fun to be had there.

 Kian's current stretching regimen.  He sits here in his soft leg braces for as long as we let him.  And he is disturbingly proficient with the iPad.  Oh, and he is officially 2 now.  His due date was Aug 27, so he is now 2 years old adjusted.

 Kian got tubes in his ears at PCMC.  It was the least stressful surgery experience we've had there to date.  We were home by 9:30 am the same day.

Gorgeous children...

 ...if I do say so myself.

Reunion

My family had a reunion in August.  We went to Lagoon.  Our kids had a great time and can't wait to go back. 

 The little girl cousins stayed together for a while on the little kid rides.

 Kate is the one under the waterfall.  She loved it.

 The fabulous bumper cars.  Kate and Lily both surprised us with their bravery on roller coasters.  Our family favorite was Bombora.

Kian rode the carousel and the Ferris Wheel.  Maybe next time he can ride the rides.

 Most of us hiked Ensign Peak.

 Lots of cousins.

That's Grandma waving at everyone on Ensign Peak from her apartment.

Camping fun

 We got to meet Olivia.  She is Chris's niece's baby.  Another cousin!  Yay!

 We went on a campout with Chris's side of the family. 

 Lots of fun.

 Lots of cousins.

 Lots of dirt.

 Lots and lots of dirt.

Fun camping!
