Spring Break 2019

I came to the realization one day, that if Greg stays in Public Accounting, he will never be able to spend a Spring Break with us. What a tragic thought!

Killing time before heading south!

It took awhile, but this cute girlie eventually succumbed to sleep. And, she slept about an hour, which is a new record!

We were all in need of a break by the time we got to Beaver, so we stopped at the McDonald's, got courtesy cones and played for about 40 minutes. It was marvelous!

We made it and the girls were so excited to play at the park next door with no shoes! It was glorious!

Because I was sick and missed going to St George the last time we were down, we were up and ready to go Wednesday morning. Sofi was so excited to go to the Dinosaur Park (All-abilities Park) and we were even able to talk my mom into going down with us. It was fun having her there!

The water was COLD and Claire wasn't sure exactly what to do at first.

But she figured it out.

It's a good thing after all that my Mom came down with us. Keeping track of 2 kids in a park full of Northern Utah was a challenge in and of itself.

Sofi found a friend.

This swing was in high demand.

Claire is living her best life! 🤣

This was a fun "relaxing" toy, where the kids were still being entertaining but able to sit there. It rocks back and forth.

So big!

My mom treated us to FroYo after the park, and Claire wasn't a huge fan. Whenever she is ready to 

leave somewhere, she grabs the diaper bag and will drag it to the door. It's hilarious!

We scored Sof some new watermelon flip-flops in the St George Old Navy, and she was so excited!

After St George, we didn't really do anything else too exciting. It was kind of nice to just be around people and have someone else cook my meals. It was a busy week for my little sister (she's Graduating HS), so she wasn't around much, but that ended up being a good thing because I was able to get to know my other sister Shelby better. Shelby was 2 when I went to college, and I've never moved back since, so I don't know her as well as I should. After this week, I came to learn how amazing of a person she is! She is such a fun aunt too. 

Trampoline bliss.

There is a horse pasture a block over from my parent's house that has been there for as long as I've been alive. I took Sof to see the horses and she was amazed to be on ground parallel to this horses head! Luckily he was friendly.

Claire is always the entertainer. She was content to stand on these stools while sitting in her high chair during every meal. She really is so funny!

We went one night over to my Elementary School and played on the playground. It's always so fun to go play there and remember my glory days in Elementary ... Ha! (Greg will roll his eyes at that).

Monkey Sof. It's amazing what this girl can climb. Now that her legs are longer, I think she's making up for lost time.

Claire LOVES Mocha. She LOVES her! And lucky for us, Mocha is a really good kid dog. Claire loved to walk behind her while holding onto her tail. 

Okay, take a moment and look at Claire's leg! And then her foot! Yikes!!
The best part? I have a picture of me going down the slide with Sof and her leg is in the exact same position!
Luckily little girlfriend is made of rubber.

Monkey Sof is at it again.

This is the first time I put Claire in a big kid swing, and she did so good!! Look at her proud little grin.

Shelby was doing tricks and fell out of the swing. I was laughing my head off. Totally worth her pain!

Sof was on vacation and spent way too much time watching shows on Grandma's ipad. But hey, it's vacation so I can't fault her for that. She definitely doesn't get to do that at home.

Shelby pampered me one night and did my nails all cutesy for Easter. But seriously, how cute are they?! She has a gift.

I planned the trip down and back so that we wouldn't be traveling either direction on a busy day, so the trip was an enjoyable one. 3 days is enough time to spend in Cedar, enjoy our time there, and be excited to come back home!
