First day of school


I ca't believe Ian is old enough to go to Kindergarten. I didn't cry but I keep thinking about how fast time has gone by. I was warned by people but didn't believe it. 

 Handsome boy :)



 Quintin wanted to feel special too


 Trying to get a picture by the front door.


 Ian and his All About Me poster


 Walking to the bus stop


Waiting for the bus.

Ian jumped on the bus so fast I didn't get a chance to take a picture with him and the bus. :) He was just so ready to go to school he didn't care about Mom anymore. :) Quintin cried when Ian left not because he missed him but because he wanted to get on the bus too. Then later that day he kept telling me Ian is missing. He loves his brother so much.


Alpine Slides

We have made this a tradition we do every year before school starts. This was Ian's 3rd time and Quintin's 2nd time going downy the slides. We spent the whole day in Park City mostly shopping at the outlets so I didn't take too many pictures of that. 


 Ian and Daddy won the race down cause mommy is so scared to go fast


Getting ready to go!!

Farm Country

I has been 4 years since we went to Thanksgiving Point's Farm Country so we decided to head there and check things out. It was so crowded and hot!! We went on the first day of school when it was 2 buck Tuesday but all the moms with little kids thought that same thing. :) 




 Baby Chicks, ducks and turkeys



 Ian wanted one


 Don't they look excited?!


 Waiting for the pony ride



 Professional


 Ian was waving to the crowd the whole time



He almost looks bored but he really was having fun :)

Mammoth


Camping in Mammoth. I actually survived!!



    

The boys loved sleeping in a tent in a sleeping bag.

Hiking to the pit toilets

It was so cold in the mornings and at night!!


Freezing in my sleeping bag.


Grandma Pollock doing all the yummy cooking with a broken foot. 


Grayson and Quintin BFFs





On our way to Rainbow Falls. It was such a long hike for all the kids so we had to stop multiple times. It took 3 hours from beginning to end.








I love this pic


Driving into town to go shopping!!

Mono Lake

Ghost town of Bodie. It was a mining town from 1870s-1940s
