Vacation to Salt Lake City

We recently took our annual trip to Salt Lake to visit John's Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jerry. We go out every year as a golf trip for John and Uncle Jerry. This also means that Tyler, Aunt Nancy and I get to do whatever we want to while the boys golf. We always have so much fun.

John's cousin Jeremy and her (yes, her) husband Eric came down from Idaho Falls for a couple days and we got to visit with them. John’s Cousin Pat also lives in Salt Lake so we got to have a short visit with him. (Nancy and Jerry have 3 kids: Jeremy, Patrick and Louis. Louis still lives in Hagerman, ID and wasn’t able to make it out to see us).

Tyler had his first swimming pool experience. We figured he would have fun since he loves the tub so much. We were right; we had a terrible time getting him out of there. The rec center there is really cool, and they have a lot of fun things for the little kids to do. They have a big water slide, and a lazy river inside. Then outside there is a big pirate ship that of course has water coming out from many places and its fun for the little kids. The pool out there only goes to 3 feet and Tyler's favorite thing of all was the water jets outside.

We always have so much fun on our trip Salt Lake and we can't wait for next year's trip to see what other adventures we can find.

"Oh, I love this splashy water on my head" Tyler wasn't at all bothered by the fact that the water was in his face and on his head

We tried playing in the big water, but that just wasn't as much fun as the water jets coming out of the ground

Tyler just couldn't make it to the newest water jets fast enough...this is so much fun

A short preview of Tyler in the water...he had soooo much fun!! You can't hear over the sound of the water, but Tyler is yelling "WATER" the whole time. His dad was there to make sure he didn't walk onto the ground that wasn't wet because it was super hot. He did this same thing for nearly 2 hours, except for the 15 minutes we were inside at the waterslide and maybe another 10 minutes in the bigger outside pool...otherwise, this is where he wanted to be.

Daddy took Tyler down the water slide. He thought it was fun, but not as fun as the water jets.

"Look mom, no harness" Tyler had to try out the climbing wall while we waited for Daddy to get changed out of his wet swim trunks.

Tyler had fun hanging out with Cousin Jeremy and her husband Eric.

Cousin Patrick was nice enough to share his snack while Tyler made himself at home and watched a movie with him..
