Chuck E. Cheese

Bill finally got a chance to take Evan to Chuck E. Cheese. Unfortunately, the place was sort of a dump, most of the games were out of order, it was packed full of people, and really Evan is still too young. Oh well, gave us something to do on another snowy/rainy saturday, and we got a few pics and a video out of it, smile.
Evan was not too thrilled about the Chuck E. Cheese clock ride. In the video he is using the sign for "all done", over and over again.

Thanks to Grandma Crowley and Grandma GG, Evan is outfitted with all the essentials...a Brutus Doll and an OSU outfit!

Cornbelly's

Friday we went to a place called Thanksgiving Point where they had a Halloween event called Cornbelly's. There was tons of things for kids to do, a petting zoo, hayrides, haunted house, go karts, and a kiddie corral for little ones like Evan. He especially like riding the go karts (see video), at the expense of Bill's back.

Bill's Birthday Celebration with the MIL

While my mom was here we had an early Birthday celebration for Bill, and the theme was clearly Ohio Sports teams. Among his gifts were a Cavs shirt, an Indians shirt, a Browns shirt and an OSU hat!

Happy Birthday Bill!

The Great Salt Lake

The Great Salt Lake seems to be a tourist destination point only. Since we were on a "Turbo Tourist" pace (aka the "Chrisopulos Way") we decided to add it to our list of places to visit while my mom was here. Bill took the afternoon off to join us. We were actually at Antelope Island State Park which is very beautiful. Our only regret is that we didn't bring our bathing suits. Maybe next time.

Antelope Island is home to this little ranch full of history and great views!

Antelope or Pronghorn???

Twin Lakes Part 2

We hiked up to Twin Lakes again, this time with Nana Lu. It was another great hike, there was quite a bit more snow on the way up and most all of the leaves were gone. We probably won't be able to do that hike again because of the snow. The mountain tops are already covered and will most likely stay that way for the rest of our time here. Evan did pretty good again. I carried him all the way up and Bill carried him all the way down. It was a good day!!

Evan had a blast walking through the snow.

Happy Hikers!

Not exactly scary jagged edge, but close.

Somewhere on our way down, Evan kicked off his boot. You better believe that none of us volunteered to go back up the mountain to find it.

Evan finally fell asleep!
