Our Weekend

We left our house late Friday night (guess who drove and who slept) and pulled into Orem at 1:30 am. I can't complain though, night is my fav time to drive, especially if everyone is sleeping;) Even though Soph was wide awake from 1-3 she woke us all up bright and early Sat morning to begin our fun; Breakfast with our fav Sievers fam, took Jackson to Toy Story 3, hilarious!, took Codee to Cabelas, not so hilarious, then to the Richmonds for a rockin' party! Bucky was hilarious! He totally loved me, I think it may have stemmed from jealousy of Sophie getting all my attention. I'll take his love however I can get it. Big and Little Kenny put on a mini Stadium of fire, Jackson barely lasted to the end of the show. After all this excitement we finally headed up to our next hotel in SL, arrived there just after midnight, a small improvement over the previous night.

Jack and I decided to let the babies nap Sunday morning while he and I hit the town via Trax. He was a huge fan!! He did not care even a little bit where we were going or what we were doing, he just wanted to keep getting on and off, so we did:) We got our favorite snack at Starbucks and played some checkers. After some lunch we all set out for the Zoo. Jackson really enjoyed it, he loved the bird show and the baby elephant Zuri and paid tribute to CoopsCar by making a huge fuss over the penguins and alligators, I think they could convince him anything is cool. Soph didn't care about anything but Jack's blue icee and Codee was a trooper. I, on the other hand, am a huge dork, I know. I love the Zoo!!! I always have. I am pretty sure that I liked it way more than the other three combined:) Jackson was having to tell ME to settle down, I was running around like a little kid, embarrassing Codee the whole time. When we got to the Zoo the parking lot was completely full, when we left the park there were only a handful of other cars left. They all but had to kick us out, needless to say, we were pooped. Unable to pry ourselves off the bed for dinner, we ordered room service... best decision ever... at that moment anyway:) Delish! The hot tub ended day two perfectly, it even put Soph to sleep.

(I can't get this to move to the middle)

OK, you caught me. That is actually Sunday nights dinner, I didn't get any pics of Mondays happenings. It did start with more room service though. It's a good thing we didn't stay any longer cause we were hooked! After one more nap for the babies we checked out and made one more stop before heading home, Cowabunga (or Bingaha) Bay. Vicki, Tyden and Hadlee met us there and I am so glad they did, Jack and Tyden always play so good together!! A fun little park, key word, little. They seriously need an expansion pack for that place, still a good time though. Jackson even got to have an ice cream, churro and 44 oz. (or something ridiculous like that) soda for lunch, not sure how he talked Codee into that one:) He must have learned it from his mom;) I am so glad we went, it was a great little trip for our fam! Just what we needed!
