Stanley finally has fun!

Poor old Stanley, he was beginning to think there was no such thing as fun at the McLean house (all my children need not respond to that statement). But he discovered he was wrong. After the yard was cleaned up it was time to hop in the car for a trip out to Red Rock National Conservation Area. We had told Stanley so much about the beautiful Red Rocks he was really excited. Of course, like everyone else, he wanted his picture taken at the entrance sign.

Red Rock Canyon is known for its rock climbing. People come from all over the world just to climb in the Canyon. Flat Stanley wanted to climb the rocks. We looked at the tall rocks and he decided they were too tall. Instead he decided to climb a smaller rock. When he got to the top he said, "Look at me!" We looked down, and sure enough, he was on top of the rock. What a guy!

Next on the tour was Red Springs, one of the natural springs in Red Rock Canyon. He thought walking on the boardwalk was a lot of fun. But he wanted his picture taken with the sign. He really likes those signs.

He also asked, where are the desert burros? Of course this time of the year you don't see many so he settled for another sign.

Driving back from Red Rock Stanley asked what the big building was. When we explained it was a casino he wanted to go inside and see what a casino was. We said, "No, you are too young and you would probably touch something that would get us in trouble." Stanley thought about that for a minute, asked us to read him the sign (yes, another sign picture) and I don't know who taught him about spas, but he wanted a spa treatment. Are you sure he hasn't visited Suzanne?

Stanley was starting to look a little thin so Grandma asked if he wanted lunch. Well of course he did. When we asked where, he said "In-N-Out Burger. They don't have any in Utah and I heard they are really good." Off we went to make the order. Stanley isn't in the picture because he was afraid he would fall out of the car.

Then off to home for lunch and another nap! That Stanley sure likes to sleep!

Later Stanley ate popcorn with Grandma and Grandpa (sorry no photo - Stanley would eat all of Grandpa's popcorn if he took a photo) while all 3 watched a good old war movie.Even Grandma got sucked into it.

Sunday morning Stanley was up with Grandpa and the two of them read their scriptures together.

After Church Stanley helped Grandma write in his journal. When Stanley saw the picture of Cole he wanted to stand next to it and talk to Grandma.

Then it was time to get packed up and ready to leave. Off to his next destination. Look for Stanley on someone elses blog!
