Continuing our summer break... Joe was nice enough to let us leave sunday morning and head down to Enterprise (where my parents retired). Its about 35 minutes north of St. George. So that we could spend the afternoon with my dad on Father's Day. So, saturday night we celebrated for Joe. So to make it a little special I decorated the table with balloons for fathers day and accessorized with jelly belly's (his favorite) and with the manly thing I remember as a kid Big League Chew gum. I didn't know this stuff was still around and what memories it brought back. It's amazing what the dollar store carries. The boys loved it and thought it was neat... So, for dinner we had what Joe requested which was cheese raviolis, salad and bread. It was a nice dinner with a little bag of goodies. A new t-shirt, his favorite chocolate, white, beef jerky and some more multi vitamins that he has been requesting. I know simple but it was nice. Sunday morning came and off we went for a week of change, at least for us...
We got to Enterprise Sunday afternoon and my mom made spare ribs for dinner, it was great. Then we had my dad open a couple of gifts.. I didn't get any pictures. Wasn't thinking.. Monday we then spent doing some organizing in one of there storage units to help with a yard sale they were going to have on Saturday. We also took a ride for the boys. Tuesday was the big day of swimming at a pool in Veyo which is in the next town over about 20 minutes away. I swam at this pool so much when I was a kid, when we would come down to visit my grandparents. It was nice to be back and bring my own kids and share in the memories I had as a kid there. The boys loved it so much! Grandpa took them back on Thursday when me and my mom went to St. George for the day..
The pool is set down in a mountain of volcanic rock..
Jake testing his jumping skills in the pool
Then the twins both had to do it together
Patrick doing so well. Swimming in the deep end and under water
After a day of swimming we headed up the mountain to a Ranch to cook out (my dad's friend owns it) We also came back up to the Ranch another night and cooked out with my dad's friend and his girlfriend. (just took video that night)
The boys riding in the back of the truck.. they love it!
Cows just hanging out on side of the road
Entering the Ranch and the cabin at the Ranch
My dad getting dinner ready.. Yummy dutch oven potatoes and chicken
There is a pond there with HUGE trout fish in it and they love to eat cat food. So, the boys loved feeding them and seeing them swim all around
The Challenge... apparently Patrick dared Jake to eat a piece of cat food with him to see what it taste like
There they go.....
What you don't see in this picture is Jake throwing up the cat food, because I was getting it on video as well... Jake did not like it and Patrick thought it wasn't bad... sick is all I can say.
Playing on the swing and teeter totter that were there
As we left at dusk the deer where out and just staring at us as we left.. Tons of them down drinking with the cows
Another evening we spent doing a little 4 wheeling..
Parents chilling as we did the 4 wheeling
