Rexburg

Last week Oakley and I traveled up to Rexburg to my sister's house. Her and her husband, my dad and my brother were going to hiking the Grand Teton and my mom was watching the kids, so she invited Oak and I to tag along, and we did. Oakley had so much fun with his cousins Morgan, Emma, and Erik, or "Ek" as Oakley called him. His favorite thing to do was jump on their tramp in the back yard. He could have done that for hours, and he threw a fit every time he had to get off. He got pretty good at it, and never fell off once.

We also went to this fun park that had a carousel and a splash park.

Cousin Emma at the splash park. As soon as she got wet she was freezing cold, even though it was way nice and sunny outside.

For about a half hour Oakley just played this little game where he'd run to one of the little water fountain things (left) and splash it. Then he'd run about 15 feet to the wall of the bathrooms and hit the vent that was on the side (right). He is such a silly kid to watch.

Cousin Morgan showing us how to go down the slides, and then her and Eric getting warm on the hot cement.

Boy did he get thirsty.

Cute picture of the cousins. Then Oakley had to join them. Still cute though.
We also went to McDonalds one day. What kid doesn't enjoy that? Oakley loves play-places, at least the ones that he's able to climb all over at. Some of them are too tricky to climb, but this one was great.

Then we went to a place called "The Craze" which has lazer tag and miniature golf and arcade games. Oakley was a bit too young for it, but he still had a good time. For some reason he likes laying on the hole on the green. He did this at East Canyon too. He found one hole that he could climb up and put his ball in and it would shoot out the bottom. He basically just stayed at that hole the whole time we were golfing.

My sister had this little bike that was perfect for Oakley. We haven't invested in a tricycle yet, but this little thing was so easy for Oakley to just push along with his feet. He loved it, until he had to go uphill, and he wasn't quite strong enough to make it go. Cousin Eric helped him on those parts. Erik waited for a turn, which he never got, cause Oakley loved it so much.

They have this great Nature Park in Rexburg with fun trails to walk on and a big pond with ducks. So one day we took the kids and some bread and fed the ducks. I was surprised how close they would come to us.

Oakley loved chasing them. Poor ducks. We had a great time. Oakley and his cousins were all sad that we had to leave. I'm sure we'll go back again though.
