Trip to Utah-Part 2

Jamie invited us to her house to have a playdate with Miles. Both of them had lots of fun playing together! Rainny loves her cousins so much that she still talks about wanting to get on the plane and fly to Utah to see Miles and Sophie even after we came back to Taiwan! How cute!

Lenny enjoying sitting in Miles' swing.
We spent a really fun day at American West Heritage Canter with Joey, Jamie and Miles just two weeks before Halloween. We've driven past by this place so many times but never went in and knew that there is actually a lot of stuff to see and to do inside. Such a fun place for the family!
Adam doing the hay jump.Rainny trying out her first hay jump with a little help from Daddy.Found a little snake by the corn maze...ewww! I hate snakes.
Rainny and Miles walking around the kids' corn maze.
The fun hay slide!
Rainny and Daddy riding in the wagon-like car.
Rainny on a horse tire swing!Going through the corn maze.
We didn't finish the maze because we realized it would take quite a while and there was no way we can make it before it gets dark. So, we decided to head back. This was my second attempt walking through the corn maze even though I didn't finish. The first time was when Adam and I just got married. I remembered it was the Chinese Ward's young man and young woman's activity. We went to a corn maze in Bountiful at night, the kind that people dressed really scary and they jumped out to scare you. It was really fun, but getting hit by a flying corn definitely wasn't something I expected. :p
Rainny didn't see a big puddle ahead while she was walking. She stepped right in it and slipped and fell right on her butt. She wasn't very happy about getting her pants all dirty and muddy. :p

Trip to Utah-Part 1

Here are some of the highlights from our trip to Utah in September and October:

Rainny showing off the little carrot Grandma Hislop grew in their backyard!Grandpa Hislop told us about this new playground in Logan, so we took Rainny there to play. It is by far the nicest playground I've seen! It's got a castle slide, pirate ship, swing, sandbox and lots of other fun stuff for big and little children to play. Rainny loved going there!!!
I bought Rainny a lollipop at Island Market, a grocery store near by Grandpa and Grandma Hislop's house, after taking her and Lenny for a walk on a sunny morning.
Beautiful Aunt Angie with Rainny and Lenny.
We drove up to Pocatello to watch Max and Sophie. Here are the two outside their house looking for bugs..eww!
Max, Rainny and Sophi sitting on a swing.
Rainny was having so much fun jumping on the trampoline with Max that she kept saying she wanted to go back to play more!!! : )
Jack and Luck joined the fun when we went to visit them the second time.

Max jumped up and tried to scare me while I was taking pictures of them.
Hahaha...look at
his face! So funny! : )
Sophie's cute smile!
It's funny that Sophie would point to Lenny and say, "That's my baby!"...hahaha...
Our good friends, Shawn and Amei, are moving to Toronto. Shawn flew back to Salt Lake the day before Adam came back from his training in Phoenix. I'm glad we got to hang out and ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Park City, "El Chubasco". We're going to miss them a lot! Such nice couple! Hopefully, we can visit them in Toronto next year when we go back.

Some Random Pics We Took Before Our Trip to Utah

September 2nd-

Aunt Nikki gave Lenny this "I Love NY" onesie. (Nikki also gave Rainny the same matching T-shirt in Chinese!) Thank you, Nikki! : )Playing with Daddy...
Getting a bit chunky at one and a half month...
Going for a stroll in Snuggly.Rainny's little pink bike.
Lenny's big happy smile! : )

September 4th- Leofoo Village Amusement Park

The closest amusement park to us, about 30 minutes drive. We found some cheap and limited-time-only tickets online for about US$12.50 per person (Rainny is free!), which would normally cost double. Good deal! Rainny is getting tall enough now that she was able to go on many rides with us. It was such a fun day!
Riding on the mary-go-round.
Feeding horses.Riding on the monkey trail to see monkeys.
Now looking at these pictures, I don't feel it's a very safe bike ride for kids...it's pretty high above the ground and besides a seat belt, there is not much of a protection around you. I mean, you can get hurt pretty bad if you fall...scary!
On the train to see more exotic animals! (I'm amazed at how many animals there are inside the park! And there is a white tiger, too!)
