Back in March, we had the treat of having my mom, sister, and her kids come down to Utah to play for a week. It was really super awesome, because we don’t often get to see those cousins and it was fun to just play the days away with them. We had fun playing outside when we could, playing in the house, and also went to see Mr. Peabody. We managed to sneak in a few fun activities for the kids on a couple of days as well.
One day we headed downtown and hit up Discovery Gateway. The kids had a blast all morning long, playing with all of the dress ups, balls, water, and other activities. I wasn’t sure we were going to be able to get them to leave!
After Discover Gateway, we made our way over to Temple Square to walk around for a bit. What a good looking group of kids!
I tried to get a picture of my kids and me together, but it didn’t work out so well.
We loved walking around the temple grounds; our girls love to look for temples when we are driving, and pointing out angel Moroni. It is so cute. We also walked around City Creek and did a little shopping. We finally dragged the tired kids home just in time for dinner!
One nite, all of the ladies managed to get out to meet up with my cousins and aunt. (A huge thanks to Josh for staying home with eight kids by himself!) We enjoyed eating, chatting, laughing, and catching up. I wish we all got to see each other more often! Sharon was in town visiting her family for their spring break, so she got to join us!
It was Remi’s birthday while everyone was visiting, and on her birthday we went down to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. We had never been before, and we loved it! The displays were amazing, and the kids thought it was pretty neat. They loved playing in the sand and water, and with some of the other displays they had for explorative play.
After the museum, we took the kids out to Chik-Fil-A. We needed a lot of space!
The last day everyone was here, we were able to get together with Ben and Sharon and their kids as well. We started off over at our church, playing with balls and frisbees, eating lunch, and watching Remi and Jay open up some birthday presents.
After that, we headed to Hollywood Connection to let the kids ride on the rides, play mini golf, and arcade games. They all had a blast, and I’m so glad they all got to spend some time together!
It was also great to spend time with my sister and brothers and mom!
We’re so glad they came down to visit us, and can’t wait to see everyone again this summer!
