Fire and Mesa

On June 15th, there was a fire that started outside of Show Low on the reservation.  It was called the Cedar Creek Fire.  The whole city of Show Low was on a pre evacuation notice.  I freaked out only a little bit but we decided to do a little preparing.  We got the important things out of our house and put them in Nate's car then drove it out to Pinedale and left it parked there.  We packed up enough clothes for the weekend and decided that even if we weren't really evacuated, we would still head to the valley just in case.  We also thought that it was the best weekend to leave and have a final family get away before the baby comes. 

We decided to take advantage of our Pogo Passes while we were there and we started the next day at Sunsplash.  Oh my it was so much fun.  They had life vests there that they boys could wear all day long so it gave them so much freedom and we had so much fun.  They did the slides more times than I can count, even some of the big ones with Nate.  We ate lunch and got treats there too.  We were there for probably 4 or 5 hours and the boys definitely could have kept going.  The boys always ask when we can go back, it was a perfect summer day.

The next day, we went to the IDEA Museum.  It's a little kids activity center that allows you to be creative by making and building things.  It's mostly about using your creativity and the boys didn't like it as much as I thought but it was a great place. 

This was Kayton's favorite.  He built lego's and the ipad in the front let him take pictures and tried to make a movie with pictures.

This was awesome.  You drew a picture and put it under a camera, then it showed up on a green screen around the corner and you got to play with the picture you drew.  Here is Nate giving his stick figure a fist bump.

After we were done there, of course since we were right around the corner from Mango's, our favorite Mexican food place, we had to go there for lunch.

Last stop of the day and of our trip was a rock climbing place.  We hadn't done it together before and it was a lot of fun.  We mostly got to be the bottom person for the boys while they climbed.  Since I was so pregnant, unfortunately there was no one to be on the bottom for Nate so we didn't get to climb.  Thankfully our pogo passes will let us go back again without me being pregnant.

This family trip was so much fun for us and I am so grateful that we got to do it before the baby comes.  The boys loved everything and I think we all had a blast.
