Museum Amusement




A museum featuring a Star Wars theme seemed like a great place to spend the afternoon with Braden's buddies, Landin and Keegan.








Kids waited in long lines to pose with these troopers, but Braden got his opportunity to pose with them as they walked by.Weird facial expression while posing next to a weird character.
Original weapons used in the Star Wars movies were enticing for Landin and Braden.
Braden wants one of these for his birthday.
Tough to resist adorable Yoda!
Seemed like a good idea to pose in front of all these characters, but unfortunately they were behind glass.
One of Braden's favorites...R2D2, or R2Do2, as he calls it.
From Braden's expression, looks like Darth Vadar was his favorite!
Taking a break from Star Wars, Chris attempted to educate the boys.
Keegan was a bit camera shy, but a photo was captured when he and Braden were preoccupied.
Braden recently started ice hockey lessons, so this hockey exercise interested him.
Turns out, Braden has some skills...at least on this simulator!
Finished the day with a skating simulation.

Winter Wonderland

Clear skies with temperatures in the 80s and lots and lots of sand is our version of a winter wonderland. We closed out 2011 and welcomed the new year in Glamis.



Braden definitely approved of the idea of hanging out in the desert for a few days.

Taking a break to chill with Daddy.
Braden enjoyed a visit from the ice cream truck and cooled off with a popsicle.

While Braden caught some air on his quad, Matt assessed whether or not he needed to make the jump bigger.

Braden raced around and jumped this over and over.

Double jump? No problem for this rider.

Proud Dad and his buddy chest bumping.

Enjoying the wide, open space.

Braden goofed off with his new pals, Nico and Stella.

Seemed fitting to pose by the only tree in sight.

In search of a restroom....or a private spot!

Unsure if they were making sand angels or just trying to get as sandy as possible.

Dad never fails to provide us with lots of fun racing through the dunes.

Looking as tough as possible, Braden sat watch on top of the sand car.

King of the desert!
