Day Four in Logan

The fourth day was a lot of fun outdoor activities...most within walking distance of Ruth's house! We walked to the fairgrounds that had 3 parks all across the street from each other:

The kids played on the teeter-totter, nicely balanced,

 Then Kason gave them a whirl on the merry-go-round.

 I thought we'd give Archie another go on the swings....nope, still doesn't like them.

There were batting cages adjacent to the first park! I've been trying to get Mike to take me to some cages for a date for a while, so I was so excited! They were very low-maintenance. Just grab a helmet and bat from the unmanned office, put your quarter in the machine and go!

 This is the WONDERFUL purple and pink bus that the WONDERFUL Jeremy drove us around in. It was so nice to get to ride in the same vehicle wherever we went...it made the journey as fun as the destination.

 We drove by the ridiculously lovely Logan Temple, and had a picnic at yet another park.

 We grabbed some Aggie Icecream, and headed to the Logan Cemetery to see the gravestone of my great-grandpa Charles Robert Johnson, the kids' great-great grandpa. It was beautiful. Ruth brought Grandma Laura's history, and we looked at pictures of him, and read stories about him. Lucy was hooked. She didn't put the history down for the entire drive. My mom reminded me that when Lucy recieved her priesthood blessing as a baby, Mike mentioned that she would feel a closeness and responsibility to seek out her ancestors...who knew it would start so young? It will be an amazing gift in her life.
