Jordan World Circus

You can't tell in the picture but Marcus is actually dancing to the 80's music! The circus was... well lets just say they didn't have a really big budget... However, Marcus loved it and that is why we went. We really have to thank our dad because he spent a small fortune on us and missed his basketball night. Thanks Dad! We love you!

You could have your picture taken with the Bear, but this was as close as Marcus would get! He did go on a pony ride, mom totally missed it because she was watching the elephants

The Train Show

My dad took me to a Train Show. It was so cool to see all the trains. The best part was after my dad drove 90 miles an hour on the side street to make sure I got to see a real train go by our house! We stuck our arms out the window pretending that we were blowing the whistle and the conductor tooted his whistle for us!

Look, Trains!

My conductors hat.

Our New Painting

Thank you Mom & Dad Bacon for our new Painting! We love it!

More pics...

We took Grandma and Grandpa to Cabellas - the biggest game hunting store in the U.S. Not only do they sell everything needed for hunting and fishing, they also have hundreds of stuffed game and animals all around the store. Grandma wasn't too excited... especially when my dad and I were shooting animals with our toy shotgun!

The Millers had us over for dinner with ALL their children, spouses and grandchildren. The house was packed! We enjoyed visiting with them. They are all such fun people with so much going on in their lives!

John and Ruth (brother and sister)

The Hoogle Zoo

Grandma and Grandpa took us to the Hoggle Zoo in Salt Lake City. As you can see a lot of the animals had to go inside because it was too cold outside. We still had a lot of fun. Marcus figured out he could climb the chain link fences! The giraffes were amazing to see. I don't think I have ever seen any that close up, Marcus tried to feed them his hand! We planned on staying for an hour or so but ended up staying for 2 and a half hours. Marcus even ate some of Grandmas chicken fingers - we were all surprised!

4th Christmas

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa for ALL the fun toys you bought for me. I'm so glad you could come to my house and play with me. I love you!
