Palmer Family Reunion

 Palmer family reunions are always a good time.  This year we had the reunion at Payson Lakes, which we all love. 

 We got there the day before Palmer's 2nd birthday, so we got to spend his birthday with the family. Everyone was so thoughtful and brought him presents.

 He especially loved this glow bracelet, which he kept putting in his mouth.

 He was super into Finding Nemo, so this cake was only appropriate.  

Cute David showing him the present he gave him.

 It was a little hard on Lincoln because he wasn't walking yet.  I had to carry him everywhere or he was crawling in the dirt.  I think his favorite time was when we would put the seats down in the van and let them play.

 These kids had the time of their lives and got SUPER dirty.

 This raft was one of the favorite "toys" for the grandkids.  

 Palmer played with the oars on the boat for what seemed like hours.

 We love spending time with our family so much!

Palmer's First Time to Lagoon

 Some of our friends invited us to go to Lagoon one night and we were pretty excited, since Palmer hadn't been there yet.  

 I was a little worried he wouldn't like the rides since he had never been on one before.

 His face through most of this one wasn't sure what it thought.

When the ride was all over Josh went and got Palmer off of it and he didn't want to get off.  He cried all of the way out the exit.

After that he was up for every ride we took him on.

 He loved driving his own car.

 He looked so tiny in that big ole car!

He was exhausted after all that fun!

Hogle Zoo

As I kid I always loved going to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake.  We drove down this day from Layton to spend it at the zoo with our boys.  This drinking fountain has been there since I was little.

Handsome blue eyed boy.

Palmer was so excited to see all of the animals.

 Just as independent as can be.

 We went home after and had Popsicles.  McKay got a "biter biscuit."

That smile says it all, such a fun day.

Salt Lake Children's Museum

 We had some great friends that worked with Josh at Intermountain Staffing.  We headed to The Children's Museum one rainy Saturday morning.

 Palmer had a ball as he could explore to his heart's content.

 I think these men had as much fun as the kids did!

Such a fun day, and fun that Palmer was at such a fun stage of life.
