Utah Trip - Part Two

Okay, enough pumpkin and Skittle distractions. On with my travel log!

On Thursday we went to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving Point. It had a bunch of activities perfect for energetic little boys. Susie was kind enough to take us and we dragged uncle Kevin along, too. A few highlights:

Kevin was great at playing with Spencer. They both loved the slides!
(Bottom right corner: Spencer in the Cow Train - he felt very grown up on a ride by himself!)

Spencer with his usual grace on a slide.

Kevin impersonating a robot on a slide.

Josh was mesmerized with these singing chickens. He clapped and laughed and pointed for the whole show - totally adorable. Of course, this is just another reason why we will not be going to Disneyland any time soon - It's A Small World 47 times in a row would force me to throw myself off the boat, praying for a swift death. (Although Josh would lurrve it!) ((The ride, not my death.))

Spencer and the Giant. (Sounds like a children's book!)

Kevin the farmer.
In the background is "The Creature" - an inflated monster that you can walk through. It's dark and has lots of narrow corners and turns that you have to navigate, all the while listening to a recording of the creature's heartbeat. Spencer did really well, and Josh, who I thought wouldn't even notice anything unusual (in that typical baby way) clung to me and hid his face in my neck. (Hey, I'll do anything for a baby cuddle!)


The highlight of the day - the giant pillow jump. It was like a giant, inflated, rubber... pillow. (Hence the name, Maren.) We all had fun jumping and falling for quite a while. We also took turns holding Josh, who loved bouncing.

Isn't Joshie a cutie?
Spencer sometimes had trouble getting back up after falling, but he didn't want help staying up, either. (In his words, "I want to fall down myself!")
