Down town Fort Collins has a lot of fun features. Here is Morgan posing by a flower bed.
Morgan loved this fountain! He could sit there and stare at it all day. It took a lot of coaxing to get him to move away from it and continue shopping!
Here is Morgan in front of a Painted Horse Statue.
I tried to get both boys in the picture, but then I ended up cutting off the horses head.
I took today off from work to drop Morgan off at school and then I wanted to have a fun day with him. So after I picked him up I took him to lunch. I asked him where he wanted to go and he wanted to go to Subway! I am glad he is making healthy choices and my waistline is very glad too! At Subway he told me all about his first day, how they read stories, played outside, did projects, played with toys and had snack.
After lunch we thought it would be fun to go see a matinee movie, so we went to Smurfs. It was very cute and a great way to spend the afternoon together.
Of course we had to get a little arcade time in before we went into the theater!
Getting ready for the movie to start. I would say we both had a very very good day!
Last weekend my work threw the department and their families a Beach Party at Boyd Lake. It was lots of fun! They had free food, beer, face painting for the kids and lots of fun stuff to do at the beach. Morgan and Wyatt really enjoyed playing in the sand. Morgan enjoyed the water too, he went out into the lake really far with Colby and was splashing around. Wyatt only liked to get his feet wet, but I am sure next year he will take after his big brother and go swimming!
We stopped by the petting zoo first so the kids could touch and feed the animals.
I don't think Wyatt quite gets the concept of "petting" zoo! I am sure the animals all breathed a sigh of relief once he was out of there!
Next we had to go visit the train exhibit. Morgan loves trains and was very excited that Thomas the Train was in this exhibit.
Last year Morgan did not care for the rides at ALL! He would say he wanted to ride them, but once he was on it he would scream his head off. But this year to our surprise he was so excited to ride them and enjoyed every one! He couldn't wait to go again!
Morgan did not like this ride though. The girl he is with kept spinning the cup so fast and he was not happy about it. He used all his strength to try and stop that cup from spinning!
At the end of the night they do a firework display which the boys love of course.
Here is my crew enjoying a funnel cake while watching the fireworks.
Of course it wouldn't be a complete Iowa trip if we didn't get to ride on Great Grandpa's tractors!
Maci and Quentin live on a farm, so there is lots of room to run around! On the hot Iowa days the kids would run around in the sprinklers and shoot water guns.
There was also room for a few baseball games!
And blowing bubbles!
We also visited the Sports Plex in the little town of Shenandoah. Morgan liked the rope swing the best.
Wyatt checked out the slide!
They also had a blast in the ball pit. I am surprised I could find them in that thing!
