Snowy Spring Break!

We had a cold, snowy start to Spring Break this week. It's supposed to be Spring, but we got a several inches of snow at our house this week. The snow froze all our daffodils and tuplis in the garden.

For Spring Break this week, we had a "Stay-cation". We stayed in SLC and did lots of fun outings with the kids.
On Monday we went to Hill Air Force Base to the Air Force/Air Plane Museum. It has tons of huge airplanes, helicopters etc.. Taylor loves this museum and invited a friend along. The boys liked seeing the missles and all the equipment for the airplanes. Isaac kept yelling "Airplane, Airplane" the whole time we were there, he thought it was great!







Then Tuesday we went to Chuck'E Cheese for some fun. The kids had fun spending their tokens, watching the band, and playing on the slides, and play equipment.


Wednesday we went swimming at a fun indoor pool close to our house, with Mono and Becca and some of our neighbors. Everyone likes swimming except for Isaac, he cried and wanted to go down the water slide the whole time. He finally settled down and had fun for a while and then he wanted to just get out of the water. He was tired and being high maintenance!



Becca LOVES the water and will be swimming independently any day now.

Thursday we went to Classic Skating, but I didn't have my camera. Isaac loved going down the big bouncy slides all by himself.
Then on Friday walked to the park and spent the morning at the playground and exploring the river. Danny got off work early and we decided to got to the Aquarium.

We had a blast at the Aquarium mostly because Danny was with us. He knows lots of interesting facts about sea animals, fish, sharks etc.. The kids had fun at the touch tanks, and learning all about the animals and sea creatures.





The rest of the week was spent playing with Legos, sleeping in (just a little) reading,books, going to the library, watching movies, playing with friends and going on bike rides. Taylor read a book a day during the break, he loves "The Magic Tree House" series, and checks 6-8 of them from the library at a time. Then he stays up late in his bed, with a lamp reading. He is growing up so quickly!
I am sad Taylor has to go back to school this week, we had a fantastic Spring Break with him out of school.
