Too Much Fun!

At last minute, I decided to ride down to Utah with my Sister-in-law Stacie and visit my parents for a couple of days. We left on Wednesday and Vince came down on Friday night to pick us up. We had a great time.

We didn't follow our usual routine of Babies R Us, Taipan and Costco, (Which is what we always do when we come for the weekend. Even though we did stop in to Babies R Us; I always need something). We had a jam packed schedule!

First we went to Discover Gateway in Salt Lake at the Gateway shopping center. The kids loved it. You could spend days in there with all the fun activities they have.

Our favorite place was the little play town . You can work on a construction site, work on a farm, ride a horse, deliver mail, be a policeman, fireman, and the list goes on and on. There were even costumes for every thing. Jack's favorite was the Grocery Store where he could pick out food and then ring it up. I could barely drag him out of it.

The kids also loved the play house and Jack and I spent a lot of time building houses and then knocking them down by pushing the Earthquake Button.

On the roof they had a real Life Flight Helicopter that the kids could go inside and even sit in the pilot seat. It made real helicopter noises that made Jack nervous, but he eventually warmed up.

On Saturday we got up early and went to the Draper Temple Open House. It was rainy and windy and we were so glad they had tents! The temple is practically in my parents back yard, but the system was this: Drive to a church in Draper, watch a movie at the church, get on bus to ride to the temple, tour the temple, end up in different church by the temple, eat some treats, get back on your bus and ride to the church you started at. It was quite a process, but it flowed great. I had high hopes of getting a picture of me and Vince in front of the temple, but there was never a chance with their system.


That night we went to Boondocks with the entire fam, which has laser tag and arcade games. Jack had his first experience with loud Arcade Games.


It was a great weekend until we drove home and we couldn't get Jack to stop coughing. We decided to stop in Idaho Falls on the way and see a doctor, and sure enough, Jack has RSV! Again! We just can't go anywhere anymore! All in all, it was a great weekend. Thanks for everything Grandpa and Grandma!
