July 23- Rodeo! Justin's family, friends included, met at Justin's work downtown, where we then took the TRAX a few blocks to the Energy Solutions Arena.(The kids LOVE riding the 'train'. It was so cute Caitlin said, "All aboard!" as we were getting on!) We had a good time at the Rodeo...My favorite part was the barrel racing! Those horses are SO fast and it takes serious skills to get the horse around those barrels, it was SO COOL! The kids liked the baby cows, the music, Lazer show and the clown doing Micheal Jackson impersonations! The bull ridding was pretty exciting too! Those are BIG animals! Yee-Haww!
July 24- Pioneer Day! Lindsey ran in the Salt Lake City's 10K...Go Linds! We ate a delicious breakfast together and watched the Pioneer Day Parade at Justin's parents house.
-I finished making a 'Wall-e' blanket for Will... he loves it! It's cute to see him cuddling in it and he says 'Wall-e' (just like they do in the movie) all the time now!
-Later that night we had Dutch Oven lasagna dinner at Justin's parents house and then we headed over to the Bee's (baseball) game, and enjoyed an exciting game (Bee's won!) followed by fireworks! Great show!
July 25- Because of the holiday on Thursday, Justin took off work on Friday (as well as Monday!) My good friend Yung invited Will and Caitlin over to play with her kids while Justin and I went to see a matinee of the new BATMAN movie- The Dark Knight!! AHHHHHHHH! It was so good! Scary good and super action packed, we loved it, both of us had to go the bathroom half way through the movie... but we risked the embarrassment of peeing our pants just to see the whole show!! So worth the wait!
-For dinner I didn't feel like cooking, so we went to Cafe Rio!! Yea! Justin and I shared the most perfect Grilled Chicken Salad with black beans and creamy dressing... Ohh, I could have died right there! Mmmmm!
July 26- Justin, Lindsey and I took Caitlin and Will to see "Wall-e" It was a really cute show, That Wall-e is one darling little guy! "Put on your Sunday clothes..." CUTE! I did miss a good chunk of the show because Will lost interest and decided to go exploring in the theater... He ended up running out of the theater, and I followed (full force) right behind him. I just didn't realize that he went out the door just to turn around to come back in when I slammed right into him with the door... (he runs fast, so I was trying to catch up...) Oops... the door gave him a bloody nose, and his big toe got stuck under the door... and it had scraped off a bunch of skin... EW! SO, I ran to the bathroom to clean him up... he calmed down and we made our way back to the theatre for the last 5 minutes of the show. It will be nice when he can sit through a whole movie and not get hurt or run away me!
July 27-28 Park City here we come! Every year for Justin's mom's birthday we do a little family vacation get-a-way to the beautiful and relaxing Park City! What a beautiful place!
We ate an early dinner at Baja Cantina, where it was Caitlin's turn to do some damage. As we were leaving, she tripped and landed right on some high chairs stacked in a corner; and suddenly her mouth started gushing blood!
(What's a Cracroft outing with out some blood? Guess if there is none, we're not playing hard enough!) ha, that makes me want to read Twilight!
Anyway, off to the 2X2 bathroom, (let's see how many people we can get in there, shall we?) Turns out Caitlin bit the side of her cheek when she fell... Poor little Caitles... it was pretty gloomy out, so we decided to go back to the roomat the Marriott where we all took a little nap. After our little snooze, we headed down to the pool... it was pretty chilly so we stayed int he hot tubs most of the time, That was super relaxing... I LOVE HOT TUBS! The weather started getting a little windy and then started to sprinkle. We went back to the room -did 5 minutes of Karaoke and then we watched STAR DUST! (One of my favorite movies of all time!)
The next morning, Justin made a French Toast Birthday breakfast for his mom! We headed to the Pool. Nana and Papa came to visit with us, after the pool we all did the Alpine Slide! This was SO much fun! I took Will down on my slide, and Justin took Caitlin... we raced! It was awesome, Will said "WEEEEEEE" the whole way down. I was laughing non stop at him... he's such a cutie! It was awesome! Then we got some lunch and we headed home. FUN FUN WEEK!
And... as an added BONUS! Caitlin didn't have any accidents!
WE ARE POTTY TRAINED!!! YES!
I'm so happy I could bake a cake!
These pictures were taken a few weeks ago... Caitlin had her 'snake' (it's a neckless) and she wanted to wear this cute little hat (of Will's) to the store...
While I was taking Caitlin's pictures... This is what Will was doing! He was so proud of himself... "King of the Mountain!" 
It's a wonder I don't have more grey hairs! 
Scary noise from the vacuum... but boy were they excited to see that mattress fill up!
TRAMPOLINE!!! YEAH! Those little jumping beans were at it for hours!
And so, Daddy read books to Will and Caitlin (and Pepper) before bedtime. Then after about 40 minutes of Will 'exploring' the tent... we ended up putting him in the house, in his own little bed!(Not to mention, before that we had the pack-n-play out in the tent too...) and that didn't work. 
Caitlin playing with her 'worms! (oh, to be a kid again!)
WE LOVE "BA-SKETTY!"

Back:
After feeding the Animals, we went to dinner at this cute place... Will was in heaven! They had trains EVERYWHERE! He only had a few bites to eat... and cried, actually screamed, when we left... (nothing like making an exit!) Justin said he'd like to make one of these tables for the kids' trains. Let's do it Daddy, that would be one happy boy!
