City Creek

On Saturday, we were downtown for a few other things so we decided while we were there, we would check out the new city creek center. And my friends, it did not disappoint, it was awesome! When we pulled into the parking garage, we couldn't believe we were in a parking garage, even that was super nice! Everything was built with such extreme care, and it was beautiful and super clean. Hopefully it will stay that way! Ryland loved crossing over the sky bridge and watching for the train that runs right under it. And of course both the boys loved the fountain. We watched from up top for a while

And then we decided to get a closer view and went down to it.

Cam loved all the water, I am sure he just wanted to jump right in and play in it. Thankfully he was safely strapped in the stroller.

We were having a grand old time watching the water. They do a fountain "show" I guess you could call it every half hour and we only had 10 minutes to wait for the next one so we decided to stay where we were at and wait for the next show. Ryland was loving dancing to all the music and watching the water. Here is a movie of him enjoying it.

Right before the show started, they had the fountain shoot probably 25 feet or so into the air, it was super high and made a loud noise with all the water shooting up. They also have a fire within the fountain and that went off at the same time the water did. And insert that not so awesome spot for the show we had....ya, Lance and I both looked up at the water that had just shot up into the air and it was literally slow motion as the water was coming right for us. There was an ever so slightly down wind breeze that pushed the water just enough to fall right onto us and several others who were right by us. We got SOAKED! We laughed through it, but little Ryland was totally nervous about the fountain after that. He got all wet and just kept saying "we need to go". He didn't like it, but it was pretty funny though. Too bad I didn't start recording till after that, but here is a movie of us all wet after that...Yes, the boys hair was dripping water!

We did enjoy watching the rest of the show though and Ryland got into it after a few minutes. What are the chances right? You can also see in this movie how many people were there. Crazy busy, but flowed really well. I didn't feel too crowded and we got right in and out. It was smooth.

It was super fun to wander around and check it all out. The creek running through it is amazing. It was such a fun place, I am sure we will be visiting often! And we may have ended the night as one of the 1600 people to buy cheesecake at the cheesecake factory on Saturday night alone! It was delicious!! As a side note, we are loving the warm spring and our new summer clothes, aren't they adorable!

Camden also has a few new favorites such as climbing on Rylands bed, all the time!

And playing hide the car under the bed...

Yep, found it!

He would play this all day in between climbing on Rylands bed of couse! Ha ha! Such a funny kid! And aren't my tulips beautiful! Love them!
