Utah Utah Utah part 2

Day three of Utah we took Archer and all of the cousins to the zoo. Thai was the first time archer has been to the zoo that he can actually remember, or know what is going on, so we were excited! He LOVED it. The brown bears were in their pool and playing and it was so CUTE! Archer sat and watched them for 30 minutes. He was in awe! We also got to ride the train(archer loves trains), and when it went past the lion area the lion, who hadn't moved all day, came charging at us roaring as loud as he could! Good thing there was a fence. 

After the zoo the boys all went boating with my dad, and grandpa Nixon. Callan wake boarded and got up! Yay! Go Callan!! Archer went in the water too. He was pretty mad at first, and then after daddy got in with him (he was with grandpa) he was just fine! 

My mom, my grandma Nixon, Olivia and my cousin Abbi went to see Peter Pan at The Hale Center Theater in Orem. It was so much fun! I had forgotten how much I love The Hale. I miss Utah sometimes when I think about how much fun I can have there. I never really appreciated Utah until I moved away.

Utah bound! We just got back from Utah. We had a jam-packed, awesome, adventurous Vacay in Utah. We got got see 5 sets of archers grandparents!!! Tons of aunts, uncles, cousins... We had a ton of fun! 

The airplane ride in was a mess. We had a competently full flight with 17 kids!!! (Utah- amiright?) there was no AC in the plane, and Archer had an awful head cold. Snot nose jones! It was just horrible. It's a 4 hour 40 minute flight. And guess what? We sat on the run way for 45 minutes... Gah... Plus I was a tad bit hungover from patying too hard the night before with my lovely lady friends. Oh, and the power in our house was out... So the cleaning I wanted to do before we headed out was not an option. 

Once we landed, Rex and Jennifer came to the airport to pick us up. We spent the first night with them. They treated us to this yummy little cupcake shop down town Pleasant Grove. Cal and I split an Almond Joy cupcake. Omnomnom. Archer loved/hated the chickens. One of them pecked him so he didn't know quite what to think after that. He kept an eye on them though... 

We went to my grandma Gail's (myhappyplace) the next day. Well, I ran into walmart on the way to her house to get diapers, and saw her and my grandpa there. Random coincidence! Haha we spent the morning at the park, whole Callan went with his cousin to see Godzilla. Archer, my grandma, and I headed to the city park to play, eje we waited for my family to fly in from Arizona.

My mom and Olivia pulled up to the park, and archer ran over, and like it was nobigdeal ran right over to my mom, and said "hey nana", waved, and ran off. Just like he sees her every day. It was so funny! He cracks us up!
