Aquarium and Pool

A few weeks ago, we took a long trip to SLC. It was our family vacation for the summer. We had a great time. We visited the aquarium and the Bountiful Rec. Center.


This little frog was one of my favorites. He is so cute! However, he is VERY poisonous.

The piranhas were kinda creepy.



Lincoln liked parts of the aquarium more than others. He liked looking at the fish......


He liked touching the bumpy star fish......



He thought the pink jelly fish were cool......


But mostly, Lincoln took great delight in pointing to the letters he knows on the signs around the aquarium.

I have to brag for a second. As we were walking into the aquarium, my mom was holding Lincoln's hand. Up by the entrance, the words FIRE LANE were painted on the asphalt. Lincoln approached the word LANE and pointed to (and identified) all the letters. What a smarty!



We had a great time at the aquarium. We will definitely go back sometime.

Later in the week, more visitors joined us in SLC. Tori and Alexis came from St. Louis! Tori's friend was getting married and really wanted Tori to be there so she bought her a ticket and flew her out. FUN!

Lincoln LOVES Alexis. He wanted to play with her all day long. He even tried to wake her up from her naps so they could play. He is so soft and sweet with her and she is as adorable as ever.

Lincoln loves to kiss Alexis' leg. He had so much fun with Tori and Lexie. In every prayer since our visit, he has been sure to bless Tori, Dan and Alexis.

We also went swimming at the Bountiful Rec. Center. They have such a nice facility! Lincoln was so brave in the water. He surprised me! However, it is a little unnerving to have a child who is not afraid of water. Now Lincoln thinks he can jump in the water by himself...AAHHHHH!



My mom really enjoyed all the time she got to spend with Lincoln.




We had a BLAST! Thanks mom and dad for putting up with us for so long. We love you!

I think the rec center looks awesome! I love that it's outdoors instead of covered {like all the ones around here} but I don't think I'll be taking a drive to Bountiful just to play in the water! Glad you had fun though!
