Red Butte Gardens & More Swimming Lessons · posted Aug 28, 07:02 PM
We finally have the van back! That thing seems like a pinto after driving the truck around for a month! We are still waiting on Air Force info. but are leaning towards trying out the Air National Guard because of better options for us. We should have our minds made up sometime in September.
Brendin’s somersault!
Brendin started his swimming lessons this morning. He did really good and doesn’t cry when he goes underwater. He did a great job swimming towards the edge and grabbing on.
We went to Red Butte Gardens this weekend and it was so beautiful! I’ve been meaning to go for a while but we’ve been so busy. They have about 20 life like dinosaur scupltures and they are sort of hiding. So Davin had a great time finding all the dinosaurs. This place was huge, I think we walked around for over an hour. Then they have a kids garden with lots of stuff for the little ones.
Davin thought it was really neat that these bees were taking a nap in the flower! :)
Kritosaurus was one of the biggest ones
This one was 10ft long and weighed 1 ton. We found that hard to believe for small it seemed. Davin loved yelling the dinosaurs name instead of saying ‘cheese’ and he definitely broke the silence in the Gardens!
This one was the hardest to pronounce and Davin did a good job shortening the name up so he could yell it out. Quetzalcoatlus..pronounced like Kweetzle koh ATlas
Above was a cute little teepee made out of sticks. Below was a beautiful maze with lots of tunnels to walk through.
Brendin was pretty brave and got wet in the fountain and then figured out that dirt and water makes MUD!
Davin, and the sun, peeking through the maze.
Davin was only floating on his back with assistance last week and kept trying to grab his face, this time he didn’t even put his arms up. He had the perfect star float today!

Davin does not like getting his clothes wet so this was so unlike him! I just sat there saying oh man are you going to be mad in a minute! Then he was acting like he couldn’t walk with his clothes wet…his pants were falling down…he was cold…it was pretty funny! It was the first time we’ve had the heater on in the van in a long time!
