Mini Vacations

Jake, Leah and I dont take a lot of vacations. There are lots of reasons, trying to save money for other things, too busy (school, work), not able to get off work at either jobs etc. However we like to go on little trips and outings with our families and friends and that is good enough for us :) (at least for now). Anyway last weekend was Springbreak for both families so we took advantage and did some fun stuff. Here are some pictures of course of our adventures. Enjoy!

Newren family at the zoo

Matthew, Emily, Leah and Papa

Leah and I by watching the elephants.

She loved her first time to the zoo! They had a cute baby elephant too that kept doing funny things, it was cool to watch them interact.

Jake and Leah by the monkey cage, the monkeys were her favorite.

So wierd...

Leah gave everyone a break from holding her and rode in the stroller.

Jake kept making peacock noises and the peacock would turn around for us. It happened several times, it was kind of funny. Net time you see Jake ask him to make the sound for you, sounds pretty acurate ;)

The gang!

The next bunch of pictures is of the Maughans and our trip up to Salt Lake City last weekend. We had a great time and did some fun stuff!

Us

Grandma and Grandpa,thanks for taking us out for a fun night!

Getting ready to go swimming, Jake decided that he would try nursing Leah. It was so funny, she would go for it and then laugh when his hair tickled her, haha

After swimming

Drinking her Bolt House Green Goodness in a bottle, yum!

The next day we went to the Boondocks, Here is Jake at the batting cages.

Leah is getting better at walking, race car track in the background that we went on later.

James, Josh and Olive went in the bumper boats and got WET, we did too, but just a little bit :)

The guys playing basketball, shootin' some hoops.

Later that night we went back to grandma and grandpas for a cookout and games.

Leah had fun in the swing too!

Leah, Stefanie and Olive played in the dirt too, it was a very fun weekend!
