Tim's cousin Grant came to visit us for a week from New York.
Tim and Grant were able to get in some hiking, shooting, and who knows what other guy stuff.
Tim and Grant had alot of fun hiking off of the beaten path and found some unique and interesting places to climb/ hike to. Even an ominous trail back that just seem to keep ending in cliffs.

We saw Harry Potter in the theater, and tons of other movies at home.
We went to the park and had a picnic Ian loves playing in the water -although this water was super cold. We even managed to fit in some frisbee golf!

On Thursday we headed down to Salt Lake picked up Amy and all of us were able to walk through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple (Jimmer was unfortunately stuck at work). With Ian it was a little bit of a challenge he does not want to be held, does not want to hold still, and does not want to hold your hand. But he loves to play chase! The temple was beautiful -of course which one isn't. It was so nice to be there as a family and take Ian through the temple if only the little wiggle worm would hold still for a few minutes.
If we look warm in this picture it is because we are! It was 108 that day!

In the evenings we sat around and played the guitar -Ian loved it!
Ian especially loved his Uncle Jimmer and of course dancing while he played. He even let Ian play all the guitars. He loved the electric guitar because he could play it with his toothbrush.

The last day we went shopping. Ian always loves watching the carousel and is glued to it
-So we decided to take him on a ride.
He was extremely curious once Tim put him on the horse. Then just after it started moving he want to get off the horse. So Tim held him as it went around in circles and I don't believe his expression ever changed from this.

We ended our week of adventures eating at the spaghetti factory.
Yes I know Ian is messy -what child isn't when eating spaghetti.
Overall we had a pretty crazy and wild week!
