Pioneer Day

This Pioneer Day we really lived it up:) Stephen was able to take the day off, so we played all day long! The firepit we actually did a few days before, the first time trying it out at home. We roasted hotdogs and s'mores. Jack was so good and didn't touch the fire or anything. He loved trying to help daddy light it though:)

We started out our day with a fun hike with Jack and the dogs. Jack showed off to daddy how well he can run all by himself! He's such a trooper - and does most of the 4 miles on his own.

Then, after nap time we went and explored the Living Aquarium.

The anticipation was huge! We kept telling Jack about the sharks and he couldn't wait to see them. They did such a nice job with the whole place, it was really fun seeing Jack excited about the fishies and froggies and stuff.

They had a neat place where kids can actually touch stingrays. Jack liked looking at them, but didn't want to touch. Then there was a section where kids could actually crawl and climb on 'coral' and there were aquariums throughout the coral.

His favorite though were the alligators (which were actually crocodiles, but we've been working on alligators) and snakes in the South America section of the Aquarium. Great Time!

To finish off the night we lit some last fireworks from the Fourth of July.
