Good Old Gartner Family Fun!

While the Gartner's were here and their youngest son Clark was sick, I took rest of the kids to Thanksgiving point for some good old fashion summer time fun!

We went to the Children's Garden and played in the water for awhile.
Talan's #1 most favorite thing to do is to play in water.

Christopher on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the water. And to make sure he wouldn't have to get wet he spent his time hiding under the bench.

We then went to the Farm! The little guys road on the horses.
This is another thing Talan loves to do. He gets so excited when he sees a horse. He always proclaims, "I ride!"

Ella was a natural!
She looked as though this is what she was born to do!

Christopher loved it too!
The horses really made him come alive!

We threw the kids in jail for a minute.
But it didn't last long before they busted out!

The older kids took a carriage ride on an old rickety carriage. They said it creaked and they worried the wheels would fall off!

While we waited for the kids to get back from the carriage ride the little guys took a rest on this cow! MOOOOOOOO!

The next day we took the Gartner's up the canyon for breakfast.

We have a favorite little spot where we always go.
The water was running fast and furious!

Isn't this a cute picture of the girl cousins?
Emma, Ella and Reagan.

Another place we love to take visitors is the SWEETS candy factory. We snapped this picture just before our tour and just before Clark decided he wanted nothing to do with that stupid hair net. Clark and Rob ended up not joining us on the tour. Apparently they have some strict hair net rules that are NOT to be violated!

Christopher celebrated his birthday with us! I ran to the store before anyone woke up and surprised him with a birthday present!

He loved it!
Happy Birthday Christopher!

We had a good time hanging out with the Gartner's and we hope they had a good time hanging out with us! Thanks for the visit!
