Bannock County Fair

On Saturday we also went to the Bannock County Fair. It is a really small fair, but Tean still had a lot of fun. Tean got to learn how to milk a cow. He thought it was pretty funny. There was also a sand box there for him to play in. Of course he found a truck to play with in the sand. Tean also got to see lots of animals. He got to see and pet a big turtle that wasn't even full grown yet. He also saw some goats, cows, bunnies, chickens, and horses. We even found a horse who was named Teancum, so Tean got to feed him.

Chubbuck Days

This past Saturday was Chubbuck Days. In the morning there was a parade that we went to. Tean loved it. Mostly he loved being able to pick up the candy. He got a grocery bag full of candy and other stuff. We got the oddest thing I've ever seen to be thrown out at a parade: a roll of toilet paper from the Costco float. Tean also got a hot wheels car. There was an old classic car in the parade, and the man driving stopped and pointed at Tean to come to the car. So Jake took Tean up to the car and the guy gave him a hot wheels car. It was a pretty cool parade.

After the parade, there was stuff to go to in the park. Mostly booths with people advertising about their company. At the Home Depot booth, Tean got to make a wooden boat. He thought it was pretty cool to be able to hammer his boat. Jake and Mezi decided they needed to duel it out in a sword fight. Tean wanted to join in. We had never gone to Chubbuck days in the past, but we had a great time!

Camping in Tremonton

At the beginning of August, my sister came up from Vegas to visit. We went down to Utah and had a swimming party with my family. The next day, we went with my sister, Marlaina, camping at Camper World in Tremonton. While we were waiting for Marlaina to get there to the camp, Tean decided to torture a ladybug. He had a fun playing around the the bug, letting it drop, then picking it up again. When we got to camp, Tean had a fun time playing around with Broyden and pushing him in his stroller. I think Broyden got the better end of the deal. The first night there we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. The next day Tean and Broyden wanted to go for a ride in the golf carts. When we tried to take them back to the camp site in one, we got in trouble, but the camp site people drove them up while Jake, Aaron and Marlaina went golfing. That afternoon we went swimming at the swimming pool at the campsite. It was actually a hot springs and the water was about 100 degrees in the water and about 90 degrees outside, so it was not a good time to go swimming. Tean loved swimming in the water once he got used to it. After a little bit in the water, everyone enjoyed lounging around in the shade. Tean also had a good time playing around on the grass with Broyden. While we were there resting a storm started coming. It got really windy and black clouds were in the distance. Then all of a sudden I saw a white funnel cloud start in the distance. It lasted for about a minute and then went away. It was pretty cool looking. This picture is when it was starting to disappear. That night Milisa, Lance and their kids came up to have tin foil dinners, play kickball and make s'mores. We had lots of fun, especially the kids being able to eat lots of marshmallows and chocolate.
The next morning we went fishing. It was so hot we only stayed there for about 10 minutes because we couldn't see any fish and there weren't any trees for shade. Tean was really sad to not be able to fish, but we just told him that the fish were sleeping. So then he had to tell everyone that the fish were sleeping and that you can't wake them up. We had a great time camping with Marlaina and her family. Tean loved playing with Preslyn and throwing rocks with Broyden.

Ross Park

A few weeks ago, Tean and I went to Ross park with Jake's mom and younger brother and sister. Tean didn't like the play area that was made for little kids, but he loved getting in a tube in the lazy river and going around and around. Tean has really started to like to go swimming, but usually only if he is in a tube. Tean also had fun eating his lunch outside with Getu and Mezi.

24th of July festivities

After the parade, there is always a fair going on up at the fairgrounds. Tean loved seeing the animals. I love his face here. It is so Tean. He is always super excited to see things, and has to shout out what he saw. Tean liked feeding and petting the goats. There were free horse rides there, so Tean got to ride a horse. He was a little scared to do it himself, so I rode with him. He thought it was so much fun, he wanted to go again. There was also a train there that was pulled by a 4-wheeler, or a motorcycle according to Tean. Tean had a smile on his face the whole time he was on it and cried when he had to get off. He loves trains, cars, pretty much anything with wheels, so it was a really cool thing for him to ride.
