It took some talking to get these kids to want to go anywhere for spring break. We didn't have time to go anywhere really. We decided to go to SLC on Friday night. Saturday morning we went to Heber City and watched my brother, Rodney, rope. He did two events while we where there. He did really good and that night ended up getting second in the team roping. After watching him rope we went to Provo and rode Front Runner. The kids have seen this train when we have been up there before but we have never had time to take them on a ride. The kids where all excited to go except Mason, once we were on he was as excited as the others were. Jay didn't ride with us because we were just going to go one way.
When we got to our stop the kids were looking for Jay. They thought we were going to beat him to the train stop. He was there waiting for us. When we went to get off the train Mason jumped out and I was right behind him carrying Drake and the door shut on my leg and Drakes arm. I was trying to get my leg out of the door and Drakes arm when it started to pull away. Elly and Drake started to cry because the train was taking us away from our ride. I was so glad Jay was there to grab Mason since he was the only one who made it off. I would have been going crazy if he was by himself there. Jay ended up meeting us at the next stop and the kids were all happy again. We learned our lesson from the last stop so we were all right there waiting for the doors to open at the next stop where we met Jay. Tyler thought it was funny! It was funny after. I am just so glad Jay was there to get Mason.
We stayed in Lehi the next night. Jay took the kids swimming because I had a headache and when they got back we dyed the Easter eggs. That was kind of different since we have always been home for Easter, except one other time.
The kids all love dying the eggs.
After we got the eggs all dyed it was time to fine a spot and settle down for the night. The kids were all tired from going all day. We had also gone to Boondocks and the new outlet mall where all the boys got new shoes.
Easter morning the kids woke up to find that the Easter bunny had found them even though they weren't home. He brought them each a new swimsuit, kite and a bag of there favorite candy.
Drake loved finding the eggs, especially the ones that had some money in them.
When we got home the kids wanted to try and fly their kites. The wind was blowing pretty good so we thought they would fly really good. It took us forever to get them up. We finally got them up. Tyler flew his for at least forty-five minutes.
We had a fun weekend even if it wasn't too far away or very long that we were gone. It was just fun to get away for a little while.
