Spring Break

I took the whole week off of work in order to spend the time with the boys for their Spring Break! We planned some fun events to do while "staying" at home. We spent a day in Utah County, where we toured BYU campus. The boys loved going to the BYU bookstore, and each got to buy a souvenior. We also went to the Bean Museum, and then I treated the boys to ice cream at the Creamery! Yum! We visited my dear friend, Janiece too! Then we went to the Purple Turtle in Pleasant Grove for some greasy spoon fare! Then we were off to Jump on It, a trampoline place, where the boys could get their energy out! Finally, we went to Cabella's and spent time browsing the fishing gear, and doing the shooting range, and checking out the aquarium there. Then went to pick up the Chief from his job, and took the long drive home in traffic! It was such a fun day together. My boys are now all old enough to enjoy these kind of outings, where we can joke and laugh, and discover new things together!

I discovered that I really love being a SAHM for that week!

Spring Break in the Snow

We've been planning this spring break vacay since January. Since the Chief wasn't going to be able to take off, we decided to stay closer to home, and go to Wolf creek with Shauna and her boys. We've been planning, and getting more excited about it as the months have gone by. The boys have come up with lots of ideas...play tennis, and basketball, and raquetball, and pool. We would have an easter egg hunt out on the golf course. It would be a fun week for the six boys. But then the weather forecast has been predicting lots of rain, and now, they are also saying snow for up there in the mountains. So, here we are mid April, and we're going to get snow! Some trick Mother Nature!

 

Wolfcreek, UT

I'm going to have to pack more warm things in the morning. The most that the boys have is their hoodies. I think Noah only put in one pair of pants...he's ready for "short" weather! So am I!

Maybe I should throw in the sleds! It could be a long week if all 8 of us are stuck in the condo! Whatever happens, we'll make the most of it! And we'll miss the Chief and the dogs too!

I promise that I'll post pics when we get back!
