Then we finally got to swim in the hotel pool. The kids had a blast!!! Maddie was swimming from one side to the other all on her own! Everyone was pretty worn out when we finally were ready for bed around 10PM

Hotel Swimming
After the zoo we went to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner. The kids loved picking whatever random foods they wanted.
Then we finally got to swim in the hotel pool. The kids had a blast!!! Maddie was swimming from one side to the other all on her own! Everyone was pretty worn out when we finally were ready for bed around 10PM

Hogle Zoo
We let Maddie skip school on Friday and we headed to Salt Lake for a special birthday weekend for Maddie. Our first stop was Hogle Zoo!
They had mechanical dinosaurs all over the zoo that Garen and Sophie didn't like very much. But Maddie scared them off-

Garen is not much of an animal lover actually he is terrified of about all animals. On the car ride he hollered out, "who hates dogs?" and followed it by raising his own hand and yelling "me!"
But he did like the giraffes as long as they stayed a safe distance away-
Maddie liked the tigers even though they were sleeping-
Sophie loved all the animals and was anxious to get close and say hello and then goodbye when we moved on.

baby elephant was my favorite-
Maddie enjoyed being incharge with the map-

Bowling
Spring break is here, it's only Friday and Monday, but I'll take it! It's so nice to have a couple of days with my family without school and other activities! Friday I took the kids to McDonald's to meet some of our friends (it was to windy to go to a park) and play while Andy got some sleep. After about 2 hours and McDonald's and a giant ice cream mess by Sophie we came home.
Then Maddie and I got to go to the mall together for a little shopping.
Later in the afternoon we took the kids bowling. They all had a lot of fun. Sophie refused help as usual and the workers had to keep going to get her ball that would stop halfway down the lane.

After bowling I got to go to Zumba. It was a perfect day off!!!

Thanksgiving Weekend
We had a fun filled Thanksgiving weekend this year. I have to say this is the first year we've really got to enjoy Thanksgiving since the first 8 year of our marriage Andy worked retail and always had to go in at 3 or 4AM to work Black Friday and even work some Thanksgiving days, making it very difficult to travel and be with family.
We left Thanksgiving morning and got to Berry and Debbie's home just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. It was very good and the kids enjoyed playing with Andy's cousins and Maddie especially loved holding the puppy.
That night we stayed in a hotel courtesy of Jann and Boyd. They messed up our room so we got upgraded to a much bigger room. The kids were overly excited about the hotel and our vaulted ceilings and echoing room. It wasn't till bedtime that Sophie decided she didn't like the room anymore and ended up sleeping with me all night (good things the beds were king sized)
Maddie refused to share a bed with Garen since he kicks so we made her a bed out of the ottomans and chair-
Friday morning Andy and I got to leave the kids with his parents and first do some black Friday shopping and then head to Salt Lake. We spent some time at the Gateway and had a very fun and yummy dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill where the servers keep coming to your table with 18 different skewers of meat, veggies, and grilled pineapple.
at the gateway-
After dinner we headed to the Jazz vs. Lakers game (I gave Andy the tickets for his Birthday). The game was so exciting and it helped that the Jazz won in the end!!! I forgot how much more fun and exciting it is to be at a live game opposed to watching one on TV.
Saturday morning Andy and I headed to temple square. First we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial building and watched the Joseph Smith movie in the Legacy theatre. Next we headed to the Beehive House which I thoroughly enjoyed! Brigham Young is my direct great great great Grandfather and we have his desk in my parents home. The last time I took a tour of the Beehive house was when I was in Young Women's so it was really fun for me to go back and actually listen this time. :)

the final score-
I guess the Jazz game wasn't enough excitement for one night cuz we caught to 11pm showing of Harry Potter. The movie was excellent just like all the others. We froze just a little bit on our 3 block walk back to our hotel at 1:30AM.

On our way back to Logan we stopped at Famous Dave's for dinner (another birthday request of Andy's)
When we got back to Boyd and Jann's house the kids told us about the great time they had there. That night we took them swimming at the hotel pool. Maddie got to the point where she was swimming across the entire pool on her own.

Sunday morning we joined Jann and Boyd at church had some lunch and headed home on some yucky roads. But we made it home safely with memories of a wonderful weekend.
