The Cabin

We visited Rachel's Great Grandparents at their new "Cabin" last week-end. She loved to see them. Here is Grandpa Nash introducing her to the four wheelers. Someday, she'll be able to take them in the Canyons too.
The new cabin has a fabulous view. It is just a great place to relax and hang out with family.
Rachel also met the horses across the street. She didn't mind if I pet them, but she wasn't interested in touching them. We're finding out that she doesn't really like animals.
We made a trip to see the old cabin and the sight there. It was amazing.
Tyler liked walking through memory lane from the swing, to the trees with his name on it, and of course the play house in front

Boondocks

Last night was the Hamlet Homes company party at Boondocks:
Whack-a-mole!!!!
I got an offer from the banker of 53 tickets for my case, but foolishly turned it down. I only ended up winning 6 tickets :-(

Ogden

Tonight we went to Ogden and took Rachel to see the temple. Then we walked down 25th Street.


Rachel and Tori at the temple:
Roosters is one of the best restaraunts anywhere:
We stopped to split a bread pudding and pick up a container of their house dressing. We also discovered that Rachel can drink from a straw! It was pretty cute. Here she is enjoying the lemon from Daddy's Coke as she usually does when we go out to eat:

Clearfield Aquatic Center

We finally bought a family membership to the city recreation center where, in addition to fitness/gym equipment, there are also several fun swimming pools. We went last night and took some pictures. (Unfortunatly the camera's batteries were dead, so these taken from my cell phone will have to do:)

They have an outdoor splash pool that has a part which is only a few inches deep. Perfect for people like Rachel:
In the background you can see the lifegaurd. It makes sense that there would be a lifeguard on duty, but why would she need her red floatation/lifesaving thing in water that only comes up to your ankles?
Who would have imagined that it isn't a good idea to dive into a pool that is only 4" deep?
