Cardon Family Fun

We have been staying super busy having some of the Cardon extended family in town since the end of July. Caleb's parents and his sister, Crystal (with her family) have been visiting. We have done a lot of hanging out and also tried to get out and have some fun together too. I forgot my camera for a few things, but here are some of our fun moments in the last few weeks.
We took a trip to Farm Country and did lots of feeding corn to little animals.
This was Henry's "favit baby goat."
Some wild muttin bustin...
Gavin and Mals scrounging for corn on the ground next to the baby horse and the sign that says not to feed the baby animals any corn... Good thing Rachel was watching out for them.
Lots and Lots of jumping and bouncing.
We even went on a good Utah hike.
Papa carrying Henry, with Libbie, Caden, Mia and Gavin.
Macy looking beautiful in front of the wildflowers.
Stacy and Mia leading the pack.
Gavin was pretty much in this spot for most of the summer... as close to Libbie as he could be... he has pretty much started a Libbie fan club. Luckily, she is such a great girl and so nice to him and all the younger kids, that she doesn't seem to let the "Libbie worship" go to her head.
After the hiking, we went swimming... and I should have had my camera out for it. It was the first time in a month that we had taken Henry swimming and he was a maniac. He would through a dive ball off the highest step and then say, "I get it." and pinch his little nose like he was going to just dive right into the 3 feet of water and get the ball from the bottom of the pool. He was so crazy, I had to stay quite close to him and even then he was asking me to toss him under the water and to watch him put his own head in. Finally he did walk off the step into water above his head, and luckily Stacy was moving quickly and yanked him back out. He didn't even swallow any water when he did it, and came up not acting the least bit worried. From now on we teach him to swim and keep a close eye on him.
