Salato Wildlife Center

Fall Break from school. Aunt Kelly and I decided to take the boys on an adventure to the local wildlife center. 

Xander basically just wanted to stay here at this game. He kept telling us "No walk!"

Sawyer going fishing ...

Checking out the bison ...

Sitting in these odd little eggs (Sawyer's way of sitting cracked us up) ...

Standing behind the waterfall in the shade (Sawyer loved watching the water) ...

Checking out the fishes (Sawyer also loved this part) ...

After the wildlife center, we stopped at one of the local parks for a while.

Xander stayed here the whole time on this playground version of a zipline ...

We eventually talked him into joining Sawyer on the rock climbing wall ...

Brothers Playing

It's one of those things we weren't always sure we would see, at least not in the traditional sense. But this afternoon, Connor and Xander spent several hours playing and enjoying (for the most part) each others company. Xander LOVES trains. Connor has a Lego train set that's been under his bed since we moved. They got it out and worked on building the track and putting the train back together again. Once the new batteries were installed, the boys spent hours taking turns driving the train.
