Week by Week 7

John-Luke's seventh week was also a busy one. Daddy flew into town from Geneva/Texas finally and we played for a few days before our second family reunion. This time it was the Gillespie bi-annual family reunion. John-Luke got to meet almost all of his Gillespie relatives.
When Brian first arrived we went to a few places in SLC to check them out. We started at Thanksgiving Point with my family. It was hot. It was also $2 Tuesday and so it was way crowded. Just for future reference. Don't go when there is a sale. Just pay more and enjoy less crowds. James did enjoy the animals and the Dinosaur museum. Here he is with Brian and his two cousins Alex and Max (feeding the goat).He also found a place to practice his dancing skills. James really can NOT hear music and not start dancing. It is pretty much impossible. He loves music.John-Luke slept in his Sleepy Wrap. Story of his life.
Bubba and his daddy in the dinosaur museum. This is the easiest way to keep the kid from running all over the place. He has a lot of energy. It is usually a good thing but this place was way too crowded.
For the Gillespie reunion we headed up to Driggs, ID (about an hour away from our other family reunion). We mostly chilled at the place we rented and played lots of games. Brian did a bit of fishing and we ventured out to Jackson to the alpine slide which James loved. Him and Brian went down 3 times.
I went once.
James also got to ride a horse all by himself. It was a freezing morning but at Targhee so he was only interested for about 10 minutes but he still liked it.
Daddy held his hand the whole time.
John-Luke slept a lot but he was also awake on occasion. He loved his aunts and they seemed to all have the magic touch to get him to sleep. It was so awesome to see the Gillespie side all together since that only happens every other year. This was James' and John-Luke's first reunion with them all.
I know there seems to be a lack of pictures from this week. I have a ton of blurry pictures (I need a new camera desperately) and I just can't post them. It is so sad that I had so few to really choose from. We had so much fun with everyone and we can't wait to see where we go next time. Unlike my family who ALWAYS goes to Alpine, Brian's family chooses a new place every 2 years (the host family gets to choose). We don't get to host for another 6 years as Brian is the youngest of the 6 kids. All in all, it was a good week. And we had fun. Brian even got to go fishing a couple of times.
