^^I'm sure Evelyn was like, "mom stop taking pictures! I just want to play in the water!"^^

^^Like I said you get this girl near some water and she will play there for hours! It was such a gorgeous day too!^^

^^Finding any rock she can to throw. And yes that is mud she decided to sit down in to get as close as she could. ^^

^^I thought it would be fun to take off our shoes and walk through the water a little bit. Maybe my feet are more delicate than Evelyns, (she hates wearing shoes) but I don't think I even lasted two minutes walking around! Plus the water was freezing! But that didn't phase Evelyn!^^

^^Jake found this little patch of grass back down the canyon and decided it was a great spot for a little picnic. I don't know what it is with little kids and picnics but Evelyn thought it was the greatest thing and asks for picnics all the time now! Too bad it's been raining almost every day since then! Aiden slept most of the time but when he was awake he was very observant with his cute furrowed brows, taking everything in.^^

^^Gosh I love these two!^^

They had all sorts of things going on! Most of which Evelyn was too small to really do but we walked around and just let her soak things up. She loves to just sit in her stroller and take things in. If she gets really excited about something she will venture out of her stroller and explore which she did plenty of that day.

They had this very old firetruck that they would let the kids sit on with their own little fire hats and honk the horn. The line was horrendous so we just snuck to the side and took a quick picture. Evelyn was close to her nap time so we where trying to finish up quickly!

Evelyn loved the Indian village. She loved going into the tepees and was very interested in some of the Native Americans that were walking around. Some of them had a type of bell sewn onto their clothes so it would jingle when they would walk and Evelyn thought that was pretty cool. Around the corner they had a section where they would teach you how to square dance. Of course as soon as Evelyn heard the music she began to dance! That little girl loves to dance. 

This lady was off in the corner of the Pioneer Museum just sewing away. They had all types of people dressed up doing things like the pioneers would back in the day. It made me very very grateful for the day and age I was born in, but it also made with wish for the simple life at the same time. 

Happy Pioneer Day!

 (yesterday!)

This weekend was so great besides the fact that we were all sick. Jake didn't have any programs he needed to work on so Evelyn and I had a lot of time with Jake. We both love spending time with him. It was a quiet weekend. Even though we were sick we managed to get out of the house for just a little bit and go to the library (Evelyn's second home) when we knew a lot of people wouldn't be there. You can tell Evelyn is in her element when she walks into the children's section and starts pulling out books to flip through. The rest of the weekend was spend taking lots of bubble baths, and Jake and I taking turns being runny nose police.  Boy does that girl hate having her nose wiped! I love when we get weekends like this. Spending time as a family is my favorite thing to do in the entire world. And when the time comes along when Jake isn't busy with homework, we grab it and go!
