Max's 1st trip to the ZOO

Last Friday Dave's work rented the entire Hogle Zoo for their summer party. Since the zoo is pretty big it felt like we pretty much had the place to ourselves! We had a ton of fun :)

St. George / Las Vegas / Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend we took a trip down to St. George to visit Ken & Nikki. Max was a great little traveler and we all had such a BLAST!!

{Max is all set to go on vacation!!!}

{On the way down to St. George we saw the brightest rainbow we have ever seen! It stretched across the whole sky. This picture does not give it justice..it was beautiful}{Dave & Max in front of Ken & Nikki's home} Saturday we drove down to Las Vegas with Ken, Nikki & Danny.
We had a fun time walking around, seeing the sights and eating great food! We even got to see a fashion show put on by The Gap.

Sunday afternoon we went to Kanab. Grandpa & Grandma Jackson, Kat and Danny were all down visiting as well. Lance and Julie had us all over for dinner. We also visited the cemetery in Kanab where a lot of Dave's relatives are buried.

Monday we had a ton of fun just relaxing by the pool with Ken & Nikki in St. George.

{Max is ready for the pool!}

{Even though Max didn't swim and stayed in the shade 99% of the time, at least he looked so dang cute in his little swimming suit!}

{We put his little toes in the water..and as you can see he HATED it!}

Look who's SMILING!

Max just started smiling a few days ago :)
He is growing so fast and everyday he is more aware of what's going on.

It's so cute to see him smile...he's especially smiley when he first wakes up :)
