Kezia's 1st time at the Zoo

Kezia went to the Hogle Zoo for the first time on July 23rd with Uncle Zac and Aunt Suzie and their family. She is so fun to watch because she loves animals and when she sees them she gets so excited she starts waving her hands and laughing. It is so cute!!

Here we are waiting for the bird show to start.

Okay, obviously Kezia didn't like the bird show much and fell asleep. The problem was she couldn't keep her eyes on the birds. Maybe next time!

Oh, but she loved the Carousel!! She kept laughing and hitting the giraffe.

Here we are next to a real giraffe

Really up close and personal!!

Timpanogos Cave

On July 20th, Kezia and I hiked up to Timpanogos Cave with Zac and his family and Anjelena and her family. It was a fun experience but boy was it a tough hike with a little one on your back!

Our crazy family!!!

My brother Zac, my sister Anjelena and I at the top. Yes, we were exhausted!

Kezia and mom inside the cave.

You know your kid is a distraction when the tour guide cracks a glow stick for your kid to play with. :-) Kezia liked it so much, she wouldn't even let go of it while she was sleeping.

This Is The Place

We went up to This is the Place park. I just knew it was going to be fun...till Kezia rubbed sun block in her eye. Boy did I feel so bad and by these pictures you can see why. She could hardly open her eye and she was all splotchy.

Poor girl!Zander loved the animals. They were his favorite part, except for the train. He loves trains!

Kezia loves animals too. She gets so excited and starts waving her arms and giggling.

Kezia and mom so happy that we don't have to live in the little cabins they have there.

Alta Brighton Hike

Kezia and I did the Alta Brighton pass hike with my sister-in-law Suzie's family. It was really pretty and a pretty good hike with a little one on your back. It was a beautiful day! Here is most of the gang that went...minus a few adults taking pictures.

Seriously, can you get a bluer ski?

Me and Kezia with Katerina, Abby, and Liam (Kezia's cousins). All striking a pose in a pretty field of wild flowers.

Kezia loves to pull mom's hair while hiking. What a stinker!!

The hike was a little tough, but, as always, the view was amazing!!!

Katerina and the view from the top.
Oh so pretty, so so pretty! Me and Suzie, my sister-in-law,

Kezia tried so hard not to fall asleep, but she lost!

Kezia loves to be in her pack and hiking!

4th of July

We had the opportunity to go with Emily and Paul Otteson to their family 4th of July party. It was really fun! They had a home made ice cream contest and about 12 different kinds of flavors to try. When it got dark they had a program about our country and they retired a flag and had a firework show. It was really cool! Here's our cute family :-)

Kezia was having fun!

We finally got a turn in the swing!

We had fun with Sparklers. If you can't tell it reads "Kezia" "I love(heart) U"
