Archie and hubby Lee, taken at Liberty Park’s Seven Canyons water play area in Salt Lake City.
If you are ever in Salt Lake, go check out this free, elaborate, shady, charming water sculpture. Kids have to be in swimsuits (Archie cheated, he only got his feet wet anyway). The water is chlorinated, flowing from fountains into twisting rocky troughs and down into a splash pool. The layout of the streams, fountains, and pools represents Salt Lake and the surrounding mountains on a tiny scale.
Tommy, in the Salt Lake pool.
I sat in the shade most of the time, soaking in the green beauty and peace of the park, watching all the kids have a great time playing.
I also watched these guys. Yummy and yummy, no?
Before we left Liberty Park, we strolled for about 20 minutes in the open sun to expedite swimsuit drying. Then the kids found a water fountain and got wet all over again.
Your littlest man is definitely yummy, and I’ll reserve my opinion about your biggest man, since it seems a little wrong to come right out and say it, although I will bend the rules a little and say that I would never disagree with you.
Your kids have the happiest smiles I have ever seen.

I still can’t quite get over the fact that Beatrix is a toddler. But now, this, Archie the not-so-newborn! Gretchen, I count on your kids to fulfill my need for newborn oogling. What am I going to do now?
Guess you need to have another baby. *grin*

Archie is getting so big! Amazing.
Gorgeous photos. Such joy!
And because I seem to be stuck in short sentences, I must add that hooray for being home safe from vacation. Someday we’d love to take our girls to visit Salt Lake. I have one faint memory of a childhood vacation there, and it’s a good one 🙂
