Lagoon Day

The first day in Utah, we met up with parts of Zane's family and headed to Lagoon. This was Dallin's first time on a roller coaster and he liked most of them. In every picture we took of him on rides, his head was facing the wrong direction. Maybe he was embarrassed that I was taking so many pictures of him and waving to him like a maniac! I mean, he was with his cool friends so maybe mommy isn't the most important person in his life... (sniff, sniff)

Dallin has met his cousins, but he didn't remember them. Everywhere we went, he was pleasantly surprised that there were more "friends" (as he calls them) to play with. Dallin especially enjoyed waking up every morning having slept in the same room as his friends!

Dallin is with his cousins Brigg, Brayden, and Eli. By the end of the week, we heard Dallin telling Brayden (the cousin his age) that he was his best friend.

Afterward- Not his favorite

We went on a lot more rides and did the water park. I didn't think we would stay as long as we did because Gavin doesn't enjoy sitting in a stroller all day long. I realized later in the afternoon the reason why Gavin was so content to stay in the stroller was because he had a fever. By the time we got back to where we were staying and checked his temperature, it had risen to 102.7 under the arm. For the next three days Gavin acted fine as long as he was on ibprophen, but when it wore off, his temperature spiked back up again to 102.7. Being out of town with a sick baby is hard. My doctor's office got plenty of calls from me as I worried about what could be causing his temperature. In the end it was just a virus. I think Gavin doesn't like leaving home because when we went to visit his birthmom, who lives in another state, he got sick too. Both trips Gavin liked to wake us up a lot at night reminding us that he wishes he was in his own crib where he could get better!
