Friday night we spent with Brandon's family. Kylie was super excited to play with Grandma Shari, and one of the first things she did was go and raid her jewelry.
It was a long night and hard to put the kiddos to bed, so thankfully they both slept in Saturday morning. That morning we went to play at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. I worked there for a year and a half, so I was excited to take the kids for the first time. Kylie just loved the first area, which is an activity lab and very hands-on. She had fun making things fly and trying out all the other activities there.
When we go to the actual museum Brandon started the whole thing off on the wrong foot by badly scaring Kylie. After that she would freak out about nearly everything, especially if it was Brandon showing it to her. We got her to touch a few fossils, though, and to go in the dark cave with Brandon.
Hayden was a good little guy and just chilled in the stroller. Grandpa Gary held him the second half of the museum.
After lunch Kylie was in desperate need of a nap, but she didn't end up taking one until about 4 that afternoon, so we were late in our transition over to my family's house.
Once again Kylie was super excited to play with Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete. She is always happy to have new people to play with. My parents were awesome and watched the kiddos while Brandon and I went to a movie that night (at 10 PM!). Kylie stayed awake the whole time we were gone, and Hayden luckily slept.
Sunday started early, thanks to the time change, but we all managed to get up and dressed for church. Kylie had few issues at the start of Sacrament meeting, but she settled down and sat and colored the whole time. Then she went to Nursery where she easily assimilated herself.
After church Kylie played her favorite game at their house: yelling over the edge at us.
Sunday evening was Uncle Tommy's Eagle Court of Honor, the very reason we came up this weekend! It was a nice meeting, and Brandon gave a talk. I was in and out almost the whole time with one kid or the other, but I managed to hear most of it. Brandon even gave a talk at it!
Once Tommy was an official Eagle Scout we had to pack up and head back home. We weren't excited to leave so late at night, and neither were the kids. Kylie was great most of the way home, but Hayden screamed bloody murder almost the whole way. Ugh... It made me never want to take a trip again! But I am thinking that he was just sick of his car seat and traveling everywhere.
We barely beat Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay who were staying at our house for part of their Spring Break. Thankfully we got Kylie to bed (she actually fell asleep in the car and just got put to bed in her clothes...), otherwise she would never have gone to sleep with the excitement of more people to play with.
We had a lot of fun with them on Monday, though. We went on a small hike and completely wore Kylie out, and then went to lunch with Brandon (who had to work that day). Kylie just loved playing with Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay, and got pretty jealous when they played with Hayden after her nap. Once Aunt Chantel put Hayden down Kylie wouldn't leave her alone the rest of the night!
Hayden also had tons of fun with them. He is so happy with everyone; I love it!
Aunt Chantel and Uncle McKay left Tuesday morning, so now I finally have time to unpack and get these kids back to normal, boring life! And thanks to Grandma Shari and Grandpa Pete for taking awesome pictures!!
