Hanging Around

We have been having some fun at home the last few weeks so I thought I would post some pictures from our home adventures.

Making a homemade lava lamp.  Hunter loved watching the blobs go up and down.
Then we went outside for some ice and water fun.

The boys loved playing around with all of the water, bubbles, and ice.

I helped Hnter create this science lab.  He had so much fun measuring, mixing, and doing projects.  He made goo, blew up balloons with volcanoes, and created his own projects.  He loves science.

Then we did some ice painting.  We froze the paint and the boys were able to make pictures as the ice melted.  It was such messy fun.

Playing with flubber.

Making some puff paint pictures.  Hunter wanted to mix all of the colors and Cameron was so meticulous about where and how he wanted to paint.

Last of all we took some morning bike rides to the park for some fun.
We love playing together all day.

Swimming

These two little fish love to swim.  They ask to go every day.  We are always going to grandma and grandpa's pool or the city pool to splash and cool off.

Both of the boys are swimming so well.  Cameron just learned in the last few weeks how to really swim and loves to glide across the water and Hunter taught himself to dive the other day. I love watching them play in the water.

But their favorite person to swim with is dad.  He is always doing tricks with them and playing games.

They are always so excited to have dad join us in our swimming fun.

Going to the Circus

The circus was in town and we were so excited to take the boys. 
We were able to go to the preshow and see the animals up close.  The boys loved watching the clowns and seeing the elephant paint.

They were amazed when the circus began and were so fascinated by all of the acts.

Cameron loved the trick horse riding and Hunter loved the woolly mammoth.

I don't know if I enjoyed watching the circus or the boys' faces more.

We also got a few clown noses and all week have been clowns.  Hunter and I put together a whole clown routine and he just giggles through it all.  It is adorable.

It is so fun to take the boys on these new adventures.

Lava Tubes and Ski Lifts

We headed up north for a fun adventure in Flagstaff with my sister and her family. 

Patrick found this amazing hike inside a lava tube cave and the boys were so excited. 

Hunter in the caves.

The caves were so amazing.  They were very cool, dark, and covered in lava rocks.  The boys loved it.

Coming out of the caves.

After the caves and our picnic, we headed up to the ski resort to ride the lift.

On top of the mountain, after exploring.

We are already planning out next weekend trip exploring.

Zoo Time

We have been to the zoo a couple of times in the last couple of weeks. 

The first time we went was the new komodo dragon's day on exhibit.  The boys loved watching him explore and were so excited he was there.  They ended up in a picture on the zoo's website and the next week when we were at the zoo again the workers all recognized the boys.  They loved being famous at the zoo.

Hunter and Cameron love these monkeys and always have me make the monkey talk to them by pretending to be the monkey and asking them questions.  The boys love it and ask for it all of the time.

Checking out the animals.

Driving around the jungle.

Watching the stingrays.

Going for a ride on their horses.  My two little cowboys.

Riding the Komodo dragon statue.

Pointing out the little lizards.

Relaxing in the wagon while mama does all the work.
The zoo is one of my favorite outings with these two it doesn't matter how many times we go they still love it and are so interested every time.

Museum of Natural History

We headed out to the Natural History Museum.

Panning for gold at the museum.

They had a fun story  time at the museum where they read one of Cameron's favorite books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Here are the boys being caterpillars in the caterpillar hats.

Calling dad to let him now about our fun day.
