Museum fun!

Last week Logan was able to participate in a week long camp at the Wildlife Museum. It became his home away from home and he was thrilled when I took all 3 boys back so he could be our personal tour guide! ;)He learned so much about the museum and all of the animals there! It was fun to see him teach us about something he enjoyed so much. Needless to say I'm going to have to sign Logan and Carson up next summer!




We love our castle in the desert!




That is a BIG elephant skull!


Everyone loves the wooly mammoth!



Sometimes we see javelinas in the desert behind our fence!




Big Horn Sheep mountain!












My nemesis...unfortunately this scorpion is alive!




A little gator surfing!




I'm so glad we bought a membership so we can go back as often as we want!

Our Wet N' Wild 4th of July!

We had planned on having a few friends over for a pool party for our 4th of July celebration, but the weather had other plans. The monsoons have arrived and brought with it much needed rain. It was a pretty exciting storm...it blew our grill over and the ping pong table ended up in the middle of the yard. Luckily nothing was damaged beyond repair. All of the kids were pretty excited...we don't get a lot of crazy weather here...sunny days day after day do get boring after all! ;) We managed to get about 30 minutes of swimming in before the storm really hit, so the kids watched a movie and we decided to eat inside since everything was soaked on the porch! This was definitely one 4th of July our boys' won't soon forget!




Fun in the pool before the storm...








Here comes the rain...time to get out!


The strong winds ripped a strap off our seat cushion so Weston had to rescue it before it blew to the next neighborhood! ;)


Downpour...


Troy is VERY excited we finally got rain!


We always wanted an infinity pool...not quite how we imagined it though...


Time for some good food!


Cutie pies Trey and London


Cupcakes for dessert!



Things eventually dried out and our family went to the "A" Mountain fireworks show with Uncle Matt, Uncle Jon, Kayla, and Ethan.

We've got our popcorn and we're all set for the show!

Crazy Stewart Family!

Great fireworks!


Happy 4th of July everyone!

The Greatest Show On Earth

The circus came to town and the boys begged to go see it so we thought why not? We weren't really expecting to be amazed, but boy were we wrong! I've never been to a Ringling Bros. performance before and it is nothing like any circus I've been to! It was 2 1/2 hours of jammed packed entertainment. I would compare it to a Las Vegas Cirque Du Soleil show combined with animals, clowns, and even a human torpedo! The boys' and Weston and I were very entertained the whole way through! I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but I left my camera at home and my iPhone is not great at long distance shots. It might be hard to turn down the boys' the next time the circus is in town! Weston and I are already looking forward to next time!



One great thing about this circus is the animal open house before the show starts. We got to get up close and personal with the elephants, zebras, horses, and tigers! It was so cool!











We had to make a pit stop for treats of course!


Silly hat that came with Logan's cotton candy.


The biggest snow cone Carson had ever seen...he wasn't quite sure how to even eat it! :)



Again....sorry for the low quality pics. Here's a peek at a few of the acts we saw.













This is the Human Torpedo right before they set him on fire!


Off he goes...amazing! You couldn't pay me enought to do that job!
