Spring Break!

Spring break was awesome. Since the kids had Friday off, I wanted to go do something fun. It started out that I was going to take us to Disneyland! After pricing it out we realized we could rent a motor home for half as much and go to Moab. The kids loved the idea of a house on wheels after they saw their Uncle Jeff’s. After pricing out the campgrounds we needed we decided that a stay in the West Valley hotel with a waterslide was really cool too! So, we set out for a short drive, which the kids loved, and went to the water park that the hotel had. It turned out to be really great. The waterslide starts inside, goes outside, and then comes back inside for the end. The kids loved it.

We had plenty of money saved so we took the kids to McDonals for kids meals and ice cream cones. The next day, Grandma Linda came up and went to breakfast with us where they had tons of fruit, muffins, cereal, waffles, toast, yogurt, oatmeal, and juice. It was a great breakfast and it set us up so we were ready to head to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy.

The aquarium was great. The kids got to touch, among many other animals, sting rays, horsehoe crabs, starfish, and other gross things. We saw eels, huge snakes, sharks, seahorses, jelly fish, and tons more. Peter’s favorite was the glow in the dark scorpions. Who’d have thunk? God made some sick creatures. There must be a lot that he understands that we don’t.

Anyway, when we came home, we got our chickens and spent the rest of the night admiring them.
