Alligators, Sturgeon, Motorcycles, oh my.

 On our way down to
Utah, we stopped off in Buhl to visit Troys, Aunt Barb.  We had quite the fun filled adventure.

 Megan, Troy's cousin works at a fish hatchery.  They also have several HUGE alligators there.  We all got to get up close to them and even touch their toes.

 Barb commented how they felt like alligator bags or shoes or something like that.  I was to busy laughing hysterical to catch all of it.

It was nice that someone other than me, made a ditsy comment.

 Look at Sorens hands.  It's like he's thinking if he keeps his hands in his pockets, they can't get bit.  

 Anna was just a tad bit freaked out by the whole thing.  She did end up touching his foot.

Soren was brave too and pulled his hands out of his pockets for a split second.

 After the alligators, Megan showed us around the fish hatchery and taught us some interesting facts.  These fish carry their young in their mouths.  Yuck!  She has to check each and every fish for babies.  Open wide!

 Reese and Soren were inseparable.  It's a wonder that Soren didn't end up in the water with the fish.

 At a different location I faced my biggest phobia.  I am scared to death of sturgeons.  Ever since I was a little girl my brothers would tell me that the sturgeon would suck me up.  This was while I was standing in a river or swimminmg in a lake.

I can't even say they were pretty.  Yikes, their ugly.  Still scared to go into big bodies of water.

 Olivia had a ball with Aunt Barb.  Olivia was commenting that Barb does all these fun things like swing her, shrinky dinks, baking, and lots of hugs.  It was fun to see them together.  

 Resse helped Soren master the motorcycle.  They spent hours riding that thing back and forth.

Olivia helped Barb make some amazing brownies.  We had lots of laughs.  I could kick  myself for not getting any pictures with Barb and Troy.  

We were able to visit with Troy's Grandma, Aunt, Uncle and more cousins too. I find it so touching to watch Troy with his Grandma.  It was a wonderful visit, not long enough though.  Wishing we could of spent more time with Missy and Megan too.  Special thanks to Barb who taught me to make a really neat craft.  I finished it in one sitting.  That's unheard of for me!
