We also had a yummy spaghetti dinner and I realized how hard this vacation was going to be trying to get my kids to eat a decent meal and not snack the whole time...
We spent Saturday with Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete. In the morning we went to the farmer's market and the splash pad and had fun playing in the water.
After wearing ourselves out at the splash pad we went out to lunch at JCW's and Uncle Tommy joined us. Then Grandma Tess was nice enough to do a last second project of making a little bag for Kylie. I tried to help, but my sewing skills are very much lacking and Grandma Tess is just way better! Sadly, I don't have a picture of the bag yet, but with how much she uses it already, I am sure I will get one very soon!!
That evening we drove up to Snowbird where Grandma and Grandpa Knudsen were. It was even cooler up there! Very enjoyable! After dinner we all went swimming! As if we had enough of playing in the water today! Kylie loved showing everyone how well she swam underwater and Hayden loved the hot tub!
After swimming Aunt Kendra came and the kids had so much fun playing with her that they didn't crash until after 10!
Sunday morning dawned bright and early. Just because Kylie and Hayden go to bed late doesn't mean they will sleep in. I don't think they will learn how to properly sleep in until they are teenagers... I wasn't planning on taking them to church, because it was just sacrament and we spend most of sacrament roaming the halls when we do go to church, but we did walk Aunt Kendra down to the meeting. When we got there Kylie insisted on going in with her, so I stayed close by in case she needed me to come get Kylie. Hayden spent the entire time running from potgut to potgut trying to catch one.
In the afternoon after Hayden's nap we all went to the park to play.
Monday was our big play day. First we rode the tram clear up to the top of the mountain. They were doing construction up there, so we didn't have much room to wander and could only look out one side of the mountain, but it was still fun for the kids!
Afterwards Hayden really needed a nap, so we didn't really start our activities until he woke up. Then it was fun time!! The kids were old enough to do most everything, and they loved it. First we went on the alpine slide, then the coaster several times.
After riding those rides a few times we went on the Peruvian ski lift, a lift that takes us practically the whole way up the mountain. Hayden loved it and learned how to say "water" really well on it because of the stream of water underneath us. At the top we went through the Peruvian tunnel to the other side of the mountain and Kylie and Aunt Kendra played in the wildflowers.
Then Brandon and I had a little date night and went out to dinner and did some activities on our own. While we were gone Kylie and Hayden did the bounce house and Kylie tried the trampoline!
After such a fun day we all went swimming again and went to bed late.
Tuesday we didn't leave until the afternoon, so we got to play some more. We went to the park and rode the ski lift a few more times!
We stayed just long enough to say hi to Great-Grandma and Grandpa Naylor before starting on our long trip home. We did also stop in Provo to grab a few things from Grandma Tess and Grandpa Pete as well. We arrived home late Tuesday night, and everyone was so happy to be out of the car, and our cat was so happy to see us!
The rest of the week was just a relaxing time, as well as catching up with friends time! It seems these kids never really need a break from doing things!!
