Minature Golf and Thermopolis with Daddy ~ July 1st to July 5th 2012










One activity that we do each time we go to Casper is minature golf at Old Town.  This is the first time daddy was able to come with us so it was extra special. Audrey stayed and played with Grandma and Grandpa. She would have had too much fun playing in the water and running everwhere she shouldn't.



After golfing we met Brian, Jessica, Jordan and Finley at a Mexican restaurant and had yummy food. I wish I would have taken a picture of all of us at the restaurant! It was fun to be together. AJ enjoyed making Finley laugh.


While the adults enjoyed another baseball game of Cody's the kids enjoyed candy and a Little Einsteins movie.  At least they were watching a movie with cousins and the adults were able to watch the game in peace.



Even though we drive through Thermopolis WY on our way to Lovell to see our great grandpa, we have never stopped to take the kids swimming there. Aaron and I decided to take AJ there for a day trip and go swimming. Grandma and Grandpa offered to keep Audrey so we could have some quality time with AJ.  They are so kind and Audrey loves being with them. There were a lot of fun in and outdoor slides and pools. It is just a different experience swimming in hot springs water.  The large indoor pool is very warm like a bath and the hot tub there is 103 degrees.  Aaron liked it for a little bit and AJ usually loves hot tubs but this was too hot for him. The outdoor pool was cooler but still warm. AJ jumped from the high dive for the first time and was so brave. After swimming we showed Aaron the swinging bridge and park area that we usually visit with Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen.   
 












 Very hot hot tub!







 While we were at Thermopolis swimming, Audrey went to a baseball game and played in the dirt with her cousins. She clearly had a lot of fun and made a good mess of Grandma's bathtub later that night. 


We love to eat freeze pops at Grandmas. Especially when the cousins come over too and we play fun card games like Scum. AJ learned to play for the first time and did really well. He didn't want to stop playing. He also put together a big puzzle with Grandma and did a good job finding the right pieces.






A few days after daddy flew back home AJ and I visited an indoor pool and we loved the slides.

Destination Wedding in Saint Croix ~ December 6th - 9th 2012

Image
Aaron's friend Chris from Wake Forest Business School invited us to his wedding on Saint Croix, one the U.S.Virgin Islands. When it finally came time to leave it seemed pretty unreal. Last December we were in Punta Cana loving the beach, now we were again able to be on a beach, only an American one, not in America. We flew to St. Thomas, then we squeezed into the plane in the pictures you see above and below.  It held 10 passengers including the pilot.  He turned around and gave us the basic instructions including the no-smoking bit, but if you really wanted to you just needed to step out the door, it was only 50 feet (or something like that). I was in the last row and my head was touching the ceiling. It was exciting and a little unnerving which just made the trip that much more adventurous. The view was breathtaking in many ways. After landing and taking a taxi (large full size van) that drove on the left side of the road thanks to the once British rul

Baseball, Soccer, Botanical Gardens~ May 18th - 24th

 Audrey loves the sand box.  She has no problem getting or being dirty.  The heat also does not deter her from playing in the sand.  I stand in the shade most of the time unless she wants me to build her castles that she can knock down or step on.  AJ's soccer season is over and he had a great time.  Above is a picture of the parents vs kids game we played at the soccer party.  Thankfully this year no parent or kid got hurt.  After the game we had a picnic and the players got their medals.  Audrey ran circles around the field and kicked loose soccer balls around. We had these 2 coaches for 2 seasons and they were awesome with the kids.  AJ definitely improved because of their abilities.  We will miss them as they move on to college in the fall. AJ is still enjoying his baseball season.  In the pictures above he got a single, but eventually made it all the way home.  Daddy was there to see it since it was on a Saturday, and Audrey enjoyed watching L

Hornets Game and the Roome Reunion ~ March 2016

Image
We love to visit Daddy at work.  While there we often go up to the 10th floor observatory and see the city lights. Our stake had a Luau and President Hall roasted a huge pig for us.  The kids love to dress up for any occasion and are pretty experienced in posing for pictures... Our martial arts studio had their annual Easter Egg hunt.  We have fun at all their holiday parties. The kids and I enjoyed watching the St. Patrick's Day parade. We kept thinking about Grandma and Grandpa Sorensen and how much they'd love to be at this parade too since they served a mission in Ireland. Little Miss Audrey and I loved watching the Little Mermaid ballet.  She is getting old enough to appreciate these activities and I'm so happy since I've been looking  forward to taking her for a long time. We happened to be visiting Fire Station 1 when they were washing the truck and the kids were excited to help! The fire fighters said to come by and
