Our Ward Camp out got cancelled since Summer had not yet decided to arrive and there was still snow up at the Spruces in Big Cottonwood Canyon so instead we had a dutch oven dinner at Labrum Park. They have swings! Colton spent a good chunk of time on them. Looks like he was having fun!
Then he decided to go play ball with Daddy.
On the 15th we welcomed new cousin Rylee to the Benson family! It was nice to introduce Colton to a baby before his little brother came. He wanted to hold her the whole time we were at the hospital visiting. She sure is a cutie!
Since I was going to be very pregnant later in the Summer we decided to go camping up at Jordanelle Resevior with my parents in June. Colton loved having Papa there to help him go fishing in the weeds and then later throw rocks in the water when he got tired of real fishing! We got skunked and didn't catch anything but it was still have to be outdoors. The camp ground was nice, it was one we had never stayed at before and we had one of the only shaded spots in the afternoon. I guess I can pick them well from off the internet reservation website!

Of course I had to pick the first day it reached into the 90s but oh well. Will had the day off and we got there early and were able to see everything we wanted before it got too hot. This years special attraction was dinosaurs. They were neat to see. Most of them moved and made noise. Colton thought they were pretty cool until we got to the dialophasaurus. We didn't know it but those dinosaurs sprayed water and they got Colton! He was done with the dinosaurs and any animal that looked like a dinosaur (rhino) after that. We rode the carousel went through the reptile house (I think Colton's favorite part) and then rode train, he liked that part too and then headed home for the day.
Right before the dinosaur sprayed him with water!
Yes, the carousel is that fun, the tongue has to come out!
You have to drink out of the Lion fountain while at the zoo!
