When Spring Break was coming up, Coby suggested that the girls and I go to Ogden and play because he had a busy work schedule and the girls were off of school. Grandpa and Grandma had already made plans to go on a trip and weren't planning on being back until Easter Sunday and I knew we would want to be back with Coby on Easter. I decided I did really want to take the girls and do something like a "stay-vacation" but since there isn't too much to do here in Vernal, I decided we would go to Ogden, see whoever we could while we were there, but stay at Grandpa's house and go hit some of the fun stuff they have there. Our first morning, we decided to go to the Children's Treehouse Museum with Great Grandpa Gary and Grandma Barbara, Capri, Miya and Aspyn...And it was a WHIRLWIND! The girls had been there before, but it had been awhile and it is so different from anything we have in Vernal.
We had only been there about 15 minutes, and we hit the museum pretty hard...literally. This pic was taken right before this little cowgirl gave herself a slight concussion (NOT kidding) diving off her bucking bronco and passed out cold in my arms :/ and scared the crap out of her mom! Luckily, she rebounded fast, but it was a very scary couple of minutes. Poor Coby was worrying himself to death being in Vernal, but after a few minutes, she seemed totally fine...so what did we do--we finished the day at the museum--and this little crazy had a BLAST!
After the museum, we went to Chick-Fil-A with everyone, including Grandma Laurie before she left for her trip...
It doesn't matter where we are, these kids are happy to be together...
And have ICE CREAM!
Later that day, just the girls and I went to Rio 2 at a real movie theatre! (I'm not sure Vernal's really counts as "real") And they LOVED it! It was Emme's first real movie adventure so I made sure to go to a matinee where not a lot of people would be there and she did really good. She wondered around for a little bit and tried out different seats, but all in all it was a success! (She also broke a thing of BRIGHT red nail polish all over Ulta's floor, so she had been busy ALL day long, starting with a concussion!) That night at Grandpa Frank's, it was just me and the girls. I decided to put Mae and Lu in the other upstairs bedroom, Emme in the hallway and me in my regular room. I wanted to leave the door open to the hallway so I could keep checking on Emme and make sure she was alive after her little stunt earlier. Well, Mae and Lu were not used to being there without Grandma and Grandpa, and they freaked out and were "so scared!" SO, then ended up in my room, in my bed, while I slept on the floor in between them and the hallway where Emme was so I could keep checking on her...Whew! What a DAY!
The next day, lacking in sleep or not, we decided to go to the new Aquarium with Great Grandma and Grandpa, Ashlee, Ben, Luke and Jake, and Miya and Aspyn since Capri couldn't come with us that day. We tried for awhile, but with so many of us, and about a million people there, this was the BEST and only pic I got of the Aquarium. The girls loved it, but with it being so new, a lot of the exhibits weren't open yet...but they did give us a ticket to come back so hopefully we will be able to see the rest.
After that we went to the Zoo, because what trip to SLC would be complete without it where we got to ride the carousel as many times as we wanted! And had an awesome day!
That night, the girls got to have a sleepover with Miya at Grandpa Gary's and Grandma Barbara's and even Emme got to participate and I'm sure they were their silly selves!
It was a SUPER fun little trip and we had an absolute BLAST! BUT it was time to go home to Daddy...and the EASTER BUNNY! What a fun Spring Break with me and my girls :)
