Spring Break Continued

Thursday we met up with Brandon at lunch to go bowling but they wouldn't take our coupons because it was Spring Break. So we had Costa Vida for lunch and then we went off exploring on our own. We went to the Bicentenial Park in Provo. I have been wanting to check it out for a long time. It wasn't super amazing, but fun to try out a new park.

From there we went to the Mall and looked around and played on the playground a little.

We came home and I made chocolate chip cookies and let the kids eat a bunch of the dough. Spring Break is a time for special things and spoiling the kids. We did fun stuff like this all week. We ate lots of yummy food.

That evening with Brandon we went to the lake and rode scooters and played around and saw the sunset on the lake.

Friday Brandon took the day off work which was so wonderful. We had a chill morning at home, then headed to Nickel City to play. 

We had Wendy's for lunch and then went swimming at the Provo Rec Center. The kids all had a great time.

Friday evening we had a campfire in the backyard and made s'mores.

 

Another Salt Lake Adventure

Our adventures in Salt Lake on Wednesday really left me wanting more so on Saturday we headed up as a family after lunch. We went straight to the Capitol Building. The blossoms outside were so pretty!

I had never been to the capitol building and I just enjoyed it so much! Everything was so beautiful. It was so fun for me to go there!

The inside was so gorgeous!

From there we went to the Conference Center and walked all around it.

The kids had never been there and I had never really been there like this either, where you could just walk around and look at everything. It was so wonderful!

On our way home we had to stop by Scheel's so the kids could ride the ferris wheel with Brandon.

Usually I dread Spring Break and it's really hard for me but this year was the funnest Spring Break I have ever had and I just loved it and soaked it all up. There was plenty of fighting and the kids were driving me crazy fighting over where they got to sit in the car, and we were in and out of the car sooo much this week. But all in all, it was an amazing week and I'm so grateful for all the memories we made! I actually had a lot more plans up my sleeve that we didn't even get to!

More Spring Break

Wednesday was my favorite day of Spring Break. We went to Salt Lake and had adventure after adventure. We hit up the Tracy Aviary since the kids all had free admission with their PBS Adventure Club. We had never been here before and we had such a great time.

Tyler especially loved it and was so excited to see all the birds and get pictures with them. It was so cute to see!

When we were done at the Tracy Aviary we went to Liberty Park for a bit. I can't believe how big that park is!

We needed gas so we stopped at Costco and I let the kids get ice cream and churros which they were so excited about.

We went from there to Scheel's and rode the ferris wheel and explored the whole store. It was our first time there and we were very impressed and had an amazing time!

The guy working the ferris wheel gave us free tokens for ice cream so we had ice cream for dinner, ha ha.

 

Early Easter

We celebrated Easter early with the Salmon's because Ross and Karen had a trip planned to England over Easter to visit Jordan and Annie. The weather was great and we had a wonderful time.

The next day was General Conference and in between sessions we went outside and Brandon taught Ava how to ride a bike. She picked it up so quickly! Her cute pink bike has a flat tire and so I was very grateful I had gotten this bike from my friend Sarah. She couldn't find the training wheels for it which worked out perfectly.

Monday was the first official day of Spring Break. The kids and I started out going down to the lake and riding scooters to the sand park. We had such a great time.

After that I headed to lunch for my neighbor Michelle's birthday and Brandon took the kids to Wendy's for lunch.

Had my last follow up with my doctor that afternoon and then later we rode bikes to pick up Ava and Tyler from Hudson and Harper's house. Ava rode her bike all the way there! It's a pretty long ride!

Jackson fell asleep on the way home, of course!

Tuesday was supposed to be rainy and cold so we planned a day of inside activities. We spent the morning at Airborne. My friend Shannon Cluff came with me and we chatted for two hours while the kids played. It was great!

That afternoon the kids all had friends over for a movie.

That evening these three got to to go a Jazz game with Brandon and I went to the Church with Ava and Jackson to play on a bounce house Megan had rented. We had pizza and hung out there with Megan, Lincoln, Emmy, and Ryder.
