Fun at Grandma and Grandpa's

Because our new apartment in Ephraim, UT wasn't going to be ready until the end of August and Jake needed to start work in the middle of August, we were in a bind, since we had no where to live for a few weeks. Luckily, Jake's parents live only 12 miles from Ephraim and they were nice enough to let us stay with them.

Of course Connor was in heaven! He instantly had a HUGE yard to play in where the weather wasn't unbearable. His first request every morning when he woke up was "OUTSIDE?!!!" He especially loved riding with Grandpa on the lawn mower or the four wheeler (which he calls a "car truck").

He also seemed to enjoy the fact that none of Grandma's kitchen cabinets had child-proof locks on them. One morning I set him in front of the TV in Jake's parents bedroom and hoped that he'd be entertained for a few minutes while I made the bed in the other room. Somehow he managed to sneak past me and into the kitchen. After a few minutes, I heard a crunching sound and could only imagine what he had gotten into. When I turned the corner I found this...

He managed to find a relatively full box of Kix cereal in the kitchen and brought it back into their room so he could enjoy a snack while watching TV. Ahhh, kids...

Connor also loved playing in this little red car given to us by our friends in Mesquite. Connor could literally play with this for hours. Here he is driving with his cousin Tanner.
