Trip up to Ogden

The best gun smith for Brady’s 1911 works in at Impact guns in Ogden so we took a trip up to drop it off and go to the train museum

The museum was about to close but they let us run though and check everything out.

We were surprised to find that Ogden was also having a car show on their main street

They had some fun cars there here were Titans two favorite cars they had

That is a a Huston hornet that looks like doc from cars Titan thought that was pretty neat. They also had a restored bus which is also another one of Titans favorite things.

It was a blast very glad we happened upon that adventure.

Days at the Park

We live pretty close to this cute little park, so every so often we will get in our stroller and walk over with the dog.

Reagan isn’t so much into the grass but I forgot a blanket.

We also were able to get out to the park with cousins. We met Emily and Bri at the park in Provo.

They were all enjoying the swings quite a bit. This park had a splash pad that we were planning to go to but the kids pretty much ran straight to the swings. Titan is crazy about swings he wants to go way to high and it scares me. Then Davin joined us and we went lunch across the street.

Day out with Thomas the tank engine

Every year on Memorial Day Thomas the tank engine comes to Heber Valley Railway. We went up as a family to explore. Sadly the time we could go was sold out to ride the train but next year I’ll buy my tickets early.

There was a spot to get your picture taken in front of Thomas.

They had face painting and you could even meet Sir Topham Hatt, yes I had to google how to spell that one,

Another one of the stations was bubble and sidewalk chalk

They also had an area that had train track set up on tables so Titan could drive them all around. I think that was his favorite part.

We finished off the day by going to dinner at Spaghetti Factory in Orem and sat in the train car.

Reagans Blessing

Well I pretty much failed in this case, I didn’t bring my camera so I have no pictures of every one that was in the circle or who came to support us. I did take pictures of Reagan in her blessing dress so that will have to make up for it. Grandma Summers made the dress for her I think it turn out great.

Reagan wore the shoes that I wore when I was blessed. I think it was kind of fun thing to be able to do.

Florida 2013

IMG_1515

For Lori’s 50th birthday we as an extended Summers family went to Florida to party, and boy do they party hard.IMG_1539

We flew straight there so that it a bit less stressful for me flying with a two year old and a 3 month old. They both were champs on the flight out. We bought a double stroller for the great big adventure and it was worth it.

IMG_1524IMG_1525

We landed fairly late Thursday night and did drive thought dinner. We rented a mini van with Gary and Lori, saved us the stress of trying to navigate hope they didn’t regret it with the crying babies. As a family we all rented a house for the first half of the vacation. I really liked it because we got to spend a lot of time together outside of just the amusement parks. Titan and Uncle Carter shared a room, I was a bit nervous that he would be to excited to sleep with Carter there but we tired him out enough every night that it wasn’t to bad.

IMG_1520He even slept in a twin (he has a toddler bed right now) and didn’t roll out, I rolled up a beach towel and put it under the sheet I think it did the trick.

IMG_1522IMG_1548IMG_1619IMG_1839IMG_1716For Reagan I thought it would be fun to make here princess dresses for every day we were at Disney. The first one is Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Tina. I made them up so if your could guess any of them good on you. The picture with Malan is the only princess we found, but lets be honest I didn’t think Reagan would care to see the princess yet at this point so why stress it.

I’m sure this trip will go down in history for many things but the one that I can look back and smile about, but was not enjoyable at the time was Brady and Titan got sick, we think it was the flu. Lizzy had it first then she gave it to Carter then it got passed to Titan who then gave it to Brady. So sickness hit every family. Our day of sickness was Sunday while we were at Epcot. Not the worst park to be stuck sick at. Titan woke up feeling fine, so we thought he threw up for the first time as we pulled into the parking lot. Luckily I had two changes of clothes, after all I had researched a ton for this trip. Then during a ride he couldn’t hold it so I had to change his pants. While that was happening the threw up on the second set of clean clothes. Had to buy him a new outfit, I see the outfit now and love it.

Titan doesn’t cuddle the way he used to, while he was sick I got to cuddle with him. It was cute when he met the chipmunks he was so tired all he did as hug them then sit there.

IMG_1566IMG_1569

Here is some of the gang in line for a ride. Gary (grandpa Summers) is holding Titans cousin Alyssa (we have called her Lizzy for so long I have a hard time using her real name) next is Aunt Armanda holding Bailey. Then Grandma Summers is holding Titan.

This toy solder was pretty cool. Titan, Alyssa and Grandma

We also went to Universal Studios they didn’t have a lot for Titans size and even less for caring Reagan.

IMG_1679However the Harry Potter themed area is so cool I loved just walking around looking at everything. While leaving it started to rain. I’ve been told about Florida rain it was crazy. I ran with the stroller from the back of the park to our parking spot. Don’t know if it helped but it was fun.

IMG_1842

We learned our lesson and bought rain gear for the next day.

This turned out to be super fun. The ride broke down shortly after we got in line and it had this great play area. I didn’t mind waiting for the ride I think Titan had tons of fun here.

IMG_1811IMG_1812IMG_1813

Universal did have some fun water areas, luckily the weather was nice at this point so Titan did a lot of running around.

IMG_1861

The vacation with in a vacation was driving down to Clear Water Florida, it was wonderful after a week of running hard at the parks we spent a few sun filled days on the beach.

IMG_1873IMG_1874IMG_1879

We did family pictures with a photographer on the beach and the wind was crazy our hair all over the place. Once we order them I’ll post them.

We flew out of Tampa to Georgia then home. My favorite thing about the trip home I was waiting for Brady to bring the car so we could drive home and it was cold so I was trying to get Titans jacket on him and this nice lady got out of her car and asked if I needed any help. I had Reagan in her wrap and was fumbling with his zipper. I asked her to zip it up and she offered us muffins. Only in Utah, thanks for the reminder of why I love this place.

The trip was a blast and super stressful all at the same time, I have a new appreciation for those who travel with children.
