Weekends Away

I have been lucky to go visit Salt Lake for the last 2 weekends. I forgot to take my camera the first weekend. Just Eliza and I came and stayed at the Cook's home. We walked to the park and went to a Utah Utes basketball game. The girls got pom poms and tried hard to get on the jumbo-tron dancing and cheering. I am glad we had the chance to go to a Utah game because it allowed Eliza to turn back into a Utah fan. Then we went to church with them and saw some of our old neighbors, it seems like forever ago when we lived there. Thanks Cam and Emily for the fun visit and being great hosts.

Then the next weekend Mike was out of town and I drove to SLC with the kiddos. We went to Chuck E. Cheese with most of the cousins, we were quite the crew. My kids have wanted to go for months. They all had a blast.



We spent that night with the Nigburs. It was an official sleepover because the kids stayed up late and slept in the rooms with their cousins.



Then we went to a fun park and the kids had a great time. JJ was so brave on all the slides. He went down on his tummy and on his bum. He also loved the swings.



JJ and Jack are 2 peas in a pod, they speak the same language.



They love getting to play outside, it was a nice spring day.





We also got to visit Grandma and Grandpa, the Stocks, and Great-Grandma Ruth. It was fun-filled day. We spent the night at Nana and Papa's house and the kids actually got to bed at a decent hour, they were exhausted. Thanks Nana and Papa for letting us stay and having fun with us. My kids love to play garbage can basketball with Papa and reading and playing games with Nana. It was a wonderful visit. We are so lucky we have such a great family!
