Silver Fork Lake

Yeterday we took went for a walk around Silver Fork Lake with the kids to check out the fall leaves before the cold weather hits this week- I am not looking forward to the supposed snow storm on Wednesday! The colors were beautiful and the kids had a great time...

Mason thought he would rather pull the wagon instead of ride in it!

The view

Very tempting...

Faker!

Cheese!

Thumbs up!

Touch a Truck

Last weekend Mason and I went to the "Touch a Truck" fundraiser for the Junior League with Ashley, Tommy & Jake. They had all different kinds of trucks and I knew Mason was going to be in heaven... to my dismay, he was still not feeling quite up to par and did not enjoy it as much as I thought he would. For any of you who know my child... he is OBSESSED with "Fire Coks" he got so squeemish when I tried to get a photo on the front of the fire truck... oh well, it was worth a try! I will definately take him again next year and hope he feelds better! Here are some pics from the trucks I could get him to sit in!

Sitting on the front of the fire truck- if you can't tell Mason is trying to jump out of my arms!

It's a miracle- I got a smile!

Mason & Jake in some other piece of construction equipment- not sure what it was!

Oh and in case you are wondering... as a follow up to my last post, I took Mason to the dr. he had a double ear infection, went to meet with the ENT on Friday, and he is scheduled to go in for Tubes on the 6th of October... hopefully this will be the end of the ear infections!

Attempt at Moab

Well the attempt for a family vacation wasn't quite what we were hoping for. Sunday Mason woke up with a stuffy nose, by Monday morning when we were ready to go it was green and I was pretty sure that he was going to end up with an ear infection... despite it, we hit the road and headed south. After 4 hours of a whining, crying Mason and an irritated Mike, we made it in one piece. The first night ended up being quite nice, we swam, had dinner and walked around a bit. Yesterday was a different story... we woke up and Mason cried and cried and cried some more- if you looked at him wrong, he cried. On top of Mason's crying, the sky was crying too! We couldn't catch a break! Things cleared up a bit after nap time, so we walked over to the Pizza Hut to get some dinner, and ended up having to take our food to go so everyone else in the restaurant could enjoy their dinner. We went home and ate our pizza, and Mason and Mike were able to spend more time in the pool... but then the meltdown kicked in again and we decided to pack up and hit the road a day early- figured it was better to drive at night and hope that Mason slept- and it worked! He slept most of the way, woke up about the time that we hit the canyon and then he talked the WHOLE way home. I sure hope that his behavior was due to the ears and not a glimpse of what 2 has in store for us... he might not live to 3 if that is the case! We will find out in about an hour when we take a trip to my favorite place... the DOCTOR!

Oh and to top it off... I only took 3 pictures, and 2 of the 3 turned out blurry... it was just the icing on the cake! Can't get too excited about taking another family vacation anytime soon!
