Bees and Carbon County

Ikey went to a Bees baseball clinic. I think it was the first time he swung a bat, wore a mitt, or threw a ball. He needs a better coach than me because I've never done any of those things either. His favorite part of the day was the tour of the clubhouse.

Of course he was very friendly and he spent most of the time talking to his "team".

Uncle Clancy and Aunt Kathy partied with us on their way to Reno for a bowling tournament. We love family!

Jovie wore plasic cups for shoes at the end of TB's birthday party (more on that in another post). She is so silly!

We took Grandma Faucheux to the Helper Mining and Railroad Museum in Carbon County...

The Amtrak station in Helper...

 I promised Ikey some M&M's if he'd show me his face instead of hiding...

We had lunch on historic Helper Main Street at Balanced Rock Eatery.

We drove on a long dirt road to Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in Emery County. It's a pretty cool place for an amateur geologist and museum-y kids, but the temperature gauge read 115 deg for a little while there. It didn't feel too hot, just windy! The kids and I hiked to Raptor Point to check out the view.

Ikey was under his own power the whole way. He's an especially great hiker this year, so let us know when you want to go hiking with us!

 

We finished up the day at the car wash and now we just have to get the dust out of our shoes and hair and we're ready to start a new adventure tomorrow.
