Spring Break

The past few years we have taken a "day vacation" during spring break. We have taken a whole day and gone somewhere fun where we could see things that tourists would see. But since we have G this year we thought that might be too much so we did one fun activity each day. I kept forgetting my camera so K was our photographer for the week.

On Monday we went to Hollywood Connections. Its kind of like a little indoor amusement park. They have a roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, a carousel, a roller skating rink, etc. So we spent the night there and had a great time. We had ice cream when we came home.

On Tuesday we went bowling. C did really well on her first game and slaughtered us all. All of the kids used the bumper pads and that helped a lot with the gutter balls. We of course had to have ice cream when we came home.

On Wednesday, C and S had a sleepover with their friends Crystal and Jill. We went on a picnic to the "castle park" again. I walked around with G in the stroller after KC and K had to leave. KC had bishopric visits and K was going to babysit. Some of us had ice cream that night. K was getting bored of it! Can you believe it?

On Thursday, K went to do baptisms at the temple with her friend Sarah. CR played with his friend Nathan. And C and S of course played with their friends in the morning. That night we went to Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner and games. We earned lots of tickets for silly prizes. It had been a long time since we had been there. I think we had ice cream cones this night.

On Friday, K and C went with KC to the Salt Lake Temple to do baptisms early in the morning. We were going to go swimming this day but we were kind of exhausted and decided to just stay home and watch a movie and postpone the swimming for another time. We had Popsicles.

Saturday was Easter Egg Hunt day. We went to the one sponsored by the city and the kids got lots of eggs and prizes. K helped G get some eggs. I don't think G really cared but since K is too old to participate, this was second best. K worked at Lagoon in the afternoon and we went to the mall and out to dinner at night. No more ice cream, we did it for a week and that was good.

Sunday of course was Easter Fast Sunday and we went to church. G is better now I can stay in my classes a little longer. I usually have to feed her during Sacrament and then again during Relief Society. The sacrament feeding is not so bad cause I can still hear the talks. Except many times I've had to leave before the sacrament and then I miss out. The other 4 kids are really good sitting by themselves checking up on Daddy making sure that he is awake.
