While flipping through my note book I came across mine and Jamie's list of potential activities which jogged my memory a little...plus I found a little more hard evidence of some of our wild time together!! We had this great idea to go out to Antelope Island, an island on the Great Slat Lake...Great idea, involving a lake with 'Great' in the title...this should be fun right?...Wrong. We saw some ginormous bison as soon as we got on the island, we should have just turned around and called it quits right then!! It was so stinky and bug infested! Eww. We attempted to make it up to the kids by having slurpees and huge ice cream cones, both within the next hour. Next great idea, Wheeler Farm. Animals you can pet, tractors to ride, cows to milk, sure sure. NO. Hot farm= hot animals= less than entertained kids and grumpy husbands. Booooo.
Fortunantley we are like, a totally awesome bunch and know how to turn those frowns upside down! and we stuck with the sure fire hit activities the rest of the trip.
We went to Classic Skating for some awesome skating action, a little arcade and jungle gym time. Jamie and I brushed up on our sweet skating skills on the speed track, cause we couldn't help ourselves.

That evening we split into boys and girls. All the boys went to a Jazz game and Bruges for dinner. While the girls went to dinner at City Creek then to the Gateway for... 
BUILD A BEAR WORKSHOP!
The girls were SO excited! I'm pretty sure Soph had no clue what it was but if Chloe wanted to do it that bad then so did she! They were so into it, even Claire (until we left, then she wanted nothing to do with hers). We ended the night with some delicious treats from Hatch Family Chocolates... so good. Really, so good. Jamie, Karen and I discovered it while up here together one time and now we go... well, not often enough actually.

And here are a few more fun happenings, I found this lovely gift of a picture along with many others of Billy on my camera after the fact. Apparently Soph held her own little photo shoot:)
This trip was so fun but not enough for us so when the day finally came for them to head south we only waited two days before packing up and following them down for another week of fun!!!
We just can't get enough:)
