Hawes Home: August 2014

Vacation in Utah - June 2014

We enjoyed spending a week with Justin's family in Farmington, UT. Ava loved all of the dress-up clothes at Grandma's house!

Tyler and Ava both loved driving these cars around the house.

I loved that they would give each other rides in the back of the truck. :)

Justin enjoyed a day fishing with his dad. While he was gone, we went to the park, fed ducks, and went to the splash pad.

We spent the weekend at the Hawes family cabin in Bear Lake, UT. We enjoyed swimming in the pool (the lake is TOO COLD!), playing on the playground at the beach, and relaxing at the cabin.

Grandma Hawes with cousin Sydney and Ava.

Everyone loved riding in Grandpa's rhino.

I held Tyler's head up the entire ride. His helmet was so heavy, I was worried he would hurt his neck! Both kids ended up falling asleep on the very bumpy ride.

Aunt Tona was nice enough to let us borrow her car for the week we were in Utah. Thanks Tona!

It was so good to see both the Hawes and Graff families this summer!!

Lagoon! June 2014

While we were out west, we visited Justin's family in Utah.

We went to Lagoon. The kids had A BLAST. Ava still tells her friends about it.

We went with Aunt Rachel and cousins Sydney and Hailey. This was the kids' favorite ride. They rode it 10+ times. The adults sat on benches near the entrance/exit and the kids kept running from the exit to the entrance, over and over again.

Ava loved the "BIG" rides. :)

I'm pretty sure I took a picture of every single kiddie ride at Lagoon. :)

Tyler loved the rides as well. He said "Weee" often and would hold his hands up.

I have a picture of Justin when he was 5 years old in this same airplane.

Vacation in Boulder City, NV - June 2014

After the Lake Trip, we were able to spend 2 more weeks with my family!

We did the usual Boulder City things... :)

Visited the city pool.

Tyler flirted with the lifeguards. When they were off duty they came back to play with him because they thought he was so cute. This is one of their hats. :)

We fed the fish at the marina.

Maybe next year I wont have to hold on to him for fear of him falling/jumping in!

We went to the corral. Ava was excited to see a foal!

We celebrated Father's Day with my dad.

The kids celebrated by jumping on him. :)

Ava and Tyler loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Graff. Uncle Jim was being silly in the background. I guess he was trying to get attention, so instead of cropping him out of the picture, I will leave him in. Congrats Jim, attention received. ;)
