uncle rick and aunt jane

uncle rick and aunt jane came to our house for a visit.  it was great having them here.  we did some cool stuff while they were with us...

we first went to antelope island for the day to check things out there.  here's some pictures of that.

                                   lex watching a buffalo.  they're all over the island.  it's pretty cool.

          this is lex, elaina, and aunt jane come back from going out to see the great salt lake.  i was feeding allison in the car so it's not a very close picture.

the whole time we were on the island lex said he wanted to climb "a big pile of rocks".  so just before we left he finally got to do it.....and he did it bare foot.

then we roasted marshmellows in the backyard and hung out for the evening. 

                                 for some reason this is the only good picture i took of uncle rick  :(

allison and aunt jane. 

the next day we went to the ogden train museum and while we were there decided to go out and see the golden stake.  cory met us in ogden and we all drove out there.  it was really cool to see.  cory and i have wanted to go there for a long time.

                                        didn't really pose.....just took it before we lost elaina out of the shot

i'm hardly ever in pictures so that means allison is hardly in any pictures.  so i decided to take this one so allison could have one of her with the trains too.  i took it in a window mirror.

after we saw the golden spike we saw a sign about a rocket display.  so we followed it and saw these.  in the middle of nowhere.  it was really cool seeing them.  the rockets are in front of a bunch of buildings.  it's headquarters of a company that makes parts for NASA.

it was great to be with rick and jane again and really get to know them.  i know lex and elaina were very sad to see them go...and cory and i were too.  we had a good time with them.
