our Utah weekend highlights 2

On Monday, we took the kids to Jungle Jim's in Sandy, Utah.  The place is like an old Chuck E. Cheese's and a carnival mixed together in a strip mall space.  There were no lines.  Weather was not an issue.  Except for the icky bathroom and the noisy arcade, a very fun afternoon.

Notice the strikingly different flying styles of Alli and Ruby (above).  Alli liked to keep the aircraft somewhat low, maybe only halfway up.  Ruby, on the other hand, kept the plane as high as possible as long as possible... luckily Lucas didn't mind.  Both girls took control when given the opportunity.

The roller coaster was a favorite!  This was a small-ish coaster, but it went wicked-fast in a small circle.  It was fast enough (and the safety features seemed like 1960's standards) that I didn't want to send my kids on it unattended.  Andy, Grandpa and Grandma took turns on roller coaster lifeguard duty.  I love it when Andy does stuff like this... my knight in shining armor!

The kids enjoyed the spinning ride (like Disneyland teacups).  This carousel ride was all fun, no tears this time.  Andy did carousel duty too!  The swings were a big hit too.

Only the promise of dinner at Grandma's house could pry the kids from this fun place... they really didn't want to leave.
What do you think?  Should this shot be the Christmas card photo?  Awesome.

Definitely. Did you pose yourselves or did your photgrapher help? Ha!

I love Alli's tongue in that top pic. She definitely takes flying seriously. As she should!
