family fun

About a month ago we took a short family vacation. We went all the way to Salt Lake. Steve found us a great little hotel, that had a 24 hour swimming pool and free breakfast. We left Saturday after Andy's basketball game and came home Monday night. Saturday night the kids got to go swimming. On Sunday we went to the zoo. It was a little cold when we first got there, but it warmed up nicely. We normally go in the middle of the summer, so it was nice not to be melting. After the zoo we did more swimming. On Monday the kids went swimming again and then we headed up to Odgen to go to the Dinosaur Park. It was fun, but little did we know, that most of the park is outside. We will have to go back in the summer. It would be so much more fun for the kids in the summer. Lots of room to run around, giant dinosaurs with loud noises, smaller ones to climb on, swings, slide that would have been more fun had there not been 2 feet of snow. The kids did try to play on the playground, but when the end of the slide is buried in snow and the swings are sitting on the snow instead of swinging, it wasn't too much fun. We then headed home, with most of the day left to play we decided to go to see the Bee Movie. That was fun! It is so nice to see a movie that is clean and you don't have to worry about the conversations that will have happen later. We don't get to see Steve that much because of his work schedule so it was nice to have him around for a few days.
