New type of "time out"

We have found a new place for Zack's time out... the carnival. We took Zack to American Fork Steel Days to ride the carnival rides thinking that he would have a good time. As you can see in the video he didn't like it at all. After the first ride we were wondering what we were going to do with all the tickets that we bought because Zack was not going on any more rides. We got him to go in the carousel with Chelsea and Madelynn and then he was OK. After the carousel he was brave enough to ride on the trucks by himself. So now if we tell Zack to do something and he doesn't we threaten to take him to the carnival.

Yesterday the Maddux family went on a hike to Doughnut Falls. At the trail head Zack got to chase the ground squirrels around but he never caught one. Zack was a great hiker and hiked most of the two mile round trip. When we got to the falls all he wanted to do was splash in the water. Maddy was the lucky one and got to ride in the backpack the whole way.

Summer Camping

We took the kids camping a few weeks ago. Zack loved to be outside all the time where he could play in the dirt and ride his bike. The mosquitoes loved him and by the end of our first day he was scratching his head like crazy.


Here are some pictures of Zack camping from two years ago.


And of course some pictures of Maddy too.
