The Beach

Austin filling up his bucket of water.

This was as far as Austin would go in the water.

All the boys in the water.

Austin and Sydni in the water. That is Ben above Sydni's head.

Ben and Brett on the boogie boards.

Spencie liked to be buried in the sand.

Building sandcastles.

Sea World Part Two

These are all the killer whales.

Shamu

We got lots of splashes. It's hard to get the whales in the air.

Waiting for Austin while he is on a ride in Sesame Street's Playground.

Austin is so small and they make the kids sit inside so I'm sure every picture just shows the parents and no kids on the rides. Austin liked going on this ride.

This ride was his favorite. He rode Elmo's Flying Fish a few times with Daddy. This is while they were waiting to ride.

Lots of waiting for this little boy, while big brother gets to go on rides. Don't worry, next time we come you can ride them too.

Zoey, Grover, Elmo, Cookie Monster and Zoey put on a show. Big Bird and Oscar were there too.

Sea World Part One

Mommy's favorites: Daddy, Austin, Spencer and polar bears.

Looking at the Beluga Whales.

Inside the Polar Bear Den. BRRRRRR!!

Polar Bears are Mommy's favorite.

Austin liked them too. Spencer had a hard time looking for things that weren't right in front of the glass, but Austin watched them walk around for a long time.

What a cute boy! Spencie did really well. We were glad that he liked to be outside and was fairly good at waiting for the shows. He had lots of us to hold him and help entertain him.

Austin wasn't quite as patient. He didn't like waiting for the shows to begin.

Waiting for the Dolphin show to start. This one was Austin's favorite.

Oceanside--The Beach

These didn't load in order but here is the after-affect of playing at the beach. Spencer zonked out in his stroller.

Austin crashed out on the blanket--mid snack eating with his bag of goldfish right there.

Everyone else resting under our canopy after playing in the ocean.

Spencer wasn't sure what to think of the sand for the first few minutes, but then he decided it was fun to play in and especially to eat. YUCK!

Austin playing with Sydni in the sand and Spencer coming to destroy it.

Austin made many trips down to the water with his bucket to make mud in his sand. Grandpa helped him this time. Way cute!

Wheeler Farm

We enjoyed the fact that Ben had Fridays off all summer long. That was when we would take a fun day trip to the zoo, Hill Air Force Base, Dinosaur Park and Wheeler Farm.

We took the tractor ride. We got to ride it with just the 4 of us. Austin had to sit at the front so he could see her drive the tractor.

He also liked to get on the tractors and pretend to drive them. This green one was his favorite.

So serious while he is driving the tractor. We did see the animals but as you can tell tractors are his favorite!
