Fun Saturday  

Posted by Amber

Saturday, May 18th, we got to hang out as a family.  It was fun, even if it was rainy and chilly.  First we headed to West Jordan for my cousin Lindsay's baby shower.  At that point, she had 2 weeks, 6 days.  I told her by this time, I'd already had my baby lol.  Since I had Matt, we didn't stay too long, but I did get to see my aunt Mary Ann (Lindsay's mom) and her sister Anna, as well as my aunt Tricia, cousin Angie, and Angie's daughter Olivia.  After the shower, we headed to Thanksgiving Point for the UVU Auto Expo.

Since Matt works for UVU, we were able to get wristbands for free.  That was nice.  When we got to Electric Park, there were cars everywhere.  We did find parking in a parking lot, though, and not too far from a gate, so that was nice.

We pulled out the stroller and let Henlie sit in it without the car seat.  It was still fully reclined, and she kept trying to sit up.  The straps still don't hold her in over her shoulders, but since she can sit up now, I figured it was less of a big deal.  We sat it upright and put a blanket over her, and we were good to go.

We wandered around a bit, but I really needed to nurse Henlie. (She was fine as she had her oatmeal and a bottle before we left, but it was going on five hours since I'd nursed her....) We went to the pavilion and got burritos from South of the Border while I nursed Henlie.  Then, since it was cold, I made Matt get me a hot cocoa.  It was actually good cocoa too.  That's always a plus :)  We put Henlie's coat on her since it had gotten colder and wandered around some more.  I'm pretty sure we saw everything at least twice lol

Henlie checking out the shiny car.
 
Shiny is way more interesting than looking at Mom for a picture.
 
Kitty!
 
My favorite car of the day.
 
(If you couldn't tell by the amount of the pictures taken...)
 
So I didn't actually take a picture of the paper with the info, but I think it's a 1917 Ford Model T.
I think....
 
 
I asked Matt if there were any he wanted pics of since I'd finally pulled my phone out of the diaper bag, and he said "maybe that one."
 
Apparently 161 MPH isn't as fast as Matt thought it would go.
 
We decided this car was meant for Jennifer.  However, it's too much of a car for her tastes.  Silly girl :)
 
The Ford Mustang shoes made me laugh.
 
As we were leaving, I stopped at the rest room.  On the way home, Matt kept asking if I'd seen my pictures yet.  (I was going to put them on Facebook.)  Apparently he decided to snap a few photos of Henlie while they were waiting :)
 
 
Baby girl loved being outside and wandering around for a couple of hours.  I think she also loved being able to sit up in her stroller sans car seat.
