Lots of great scenery. The cliffs were much bigger than they look in pictures.

His favorite part were the beaches, especially playing the freezing cold water.

Another beach stop along the Colorado. Reese would have stayed here all day. This is where he saw a duck eat a giant bug whole, and he has been talking about it ever since. We promised him we'd go back to the beaches very soon, though I don't think any of us besides Reese can stand the water for very long--it's 52 degrees.

...and balls for Keegan to throw at everyone really hard and yell, "Catch!" He also has started yelling that before throwing himself at people. The chairs are always down like that because otherwise Keegan climbs onto the kitchen table, though now he has started climbing the backs of the chairs like ladders, so we have to put them in the backyard.

Keegan's first time in an actual bounce house. This is much better than the couch or Mommy and Daddy's bed! He loves jumping up and down. "Bounce" is one of his words and he will say it when he sees rabbits or kangaroos.

Reese pulled a weed at Grandma's house then planted it to see if it would grow in our house. So far it's doing fine on our kitchen table.

Aunt Lauren and Aunt Janis were both here last week and the boys were so excited! Reese was counting the days until they arrived and was very sad to see them go. He checked every day that Aunt Lauren was still going to be at our house when he woke up the next day.
We did many things that didn't make it into pictures: Aunt Lauren, Reese, Keegan and I went for the first swim on the season. The boys loved it and didn't want to get out, and I discovered that Keegan is going to be a huge handful in the pool. He loves being in the water and is fearless! Reese was so excited to have Aunt Lauren watch his karate class. He also got to show Aunt Lauren his school, and have her tuck him in every night. Keegan got to run Aunt Janis ragged at the playground.

Keegan sat on me, tried feeding me a metal match box car, which split my lip open and finished up with a foot into my left eye. Do not sit on the floor when Keegan's around. Anything on the floor is fair game to him. Wouldn't have changed it for the world.
Reese was great on the raft trip. It was a long hot ride but he was a little trooper.
