Well here goes my long spiel about the past 10 days.
We went down to Utah for a BYU football game and spent a few days at my moms then on Monday we headed further south to St. George. That is where my Dad lives. Ryan had a work seminar in Las Vegas so he dropped me and the kids off at my dads. Alex loves her Grandpa Gary and for four days she had so much fun. The first day we didn’t really do anything other then get settled.
Tuesday we went to Dinosaur Discovery and were able to see a bunch of dinosaur footprints and fossils. It was fun, but maybe just a little old for Alex. But, she was really excited about the dinosaur stamps she got on each hand. To top off the day we spent some time in the hot tub – or her “Swimming Pool,” which she though was really cool.
Wednesday we went to The Museum of Wildlife. There were all kinds of animals from bears, dears, mountain goats and even a giraffe. They give the kids little play binoculars – it was really cute. Alex would run up to an animal that was four feet away put the binoculars up to her eyes the wrong way and said look mom I can see the bear acting like she was unable to see it before she used her binoculars. It was pretty funny.
Ally was also able to play in Grandpa Gary’s pottery studio. Grandpa first showed her how to throw a pot and then I was able to help her throw her own little pot. She loved it! But, I think she liked rolling the clay out with a rolling pin even better. She would also clean up this little area next to the pottery wheel with a sponge. Throughout the week if I couldn’t find her I would go out to the studio and sure enough she was cleaning that same spot with the sponge. I need to try and take advantage of that at home
Connor also had fun playing in the dirt and just being outside. The weather was perfect 70 - 75 degrees – oh how I miss that kind of weather. Ryan and I decided that we wouldn’t mind living in St. George at all.
It’s nice to be home - even if it is for only three days until we’re back in Utah for Thanksgiving. I’ll really try to keep up better with posting, but it’s going to be hard until the Holidays are over.
