SLC Family Trip

We just got back from a weekend trip to Salt Lake City, UT with Marshall's family.  It was an action packed weekend!  Marshall's mom rented a 15 passenger van so all of us could travel together.  It was awesome :). The kids all LOVED being together as we drove from place to place.

We left on Friday morning about 10 am.  My family met up with the rest of the gang in Pocatello.  We traveled until Kaysville, UT where we stopped off at Boondocks for lunch and games.    

The wheel of fortune wheel was the girls favorite game. No one won the Jackpot 1000 tickets this time. . . Bummer

It seemed like every time we tried to get a family picture Eden refused to be in it

Addy & Max cashing in all their tickets.

One of our favorite things at boondocks was the go cart racing.  Eden rode with me and Addison rode with Marshall.  The fastest racers were Val, Marshall, then, Jarred, then me in last place.  

Next we went to the hotel to unload and swim. We stayed at the Hyatt by the airport.  Best features of the hotel were the swimming pool, the delicios continental breakfast (not usually a highlight but this one was great), and each room had a hide-a-bed so the kids didn't have to sleep on the floor.

After swimming we drove downtown and strolled through the City Creek Mall mainly to go to the Disney Store.  Grandma let the kids pick out a toy. What a nice Grandma my kids have!  

Saturday we hit up the Hogle Zoo. 

The Zoo had a bird show.  It was one of my favorite things.  The birds would fly right over the audiences heads.  It was a little freaky how close they would get.

Grandma bought the kids a ticket on the merry go round. Addy rode on the dolphin and Eden rode on the Lady bug.

Eden got tired, so Dad gave her a little shoulder ride.  What a nice Daddy .

For dinner one night we ate at Joe's Crab Shack.  It was Mine and Marshall's first time.  It was soo good.  I got Salmon and Marshall got fried shrimp.

Next, we went to a sporting goods store called Sheels. Inside the store there was  a huge Ferris Wheel. Addy rode it with Marshall and Eden rode with me & Mya.  Ty just watched with Grandma.  We were the first ones in our group to get on so there was a lot of starting and stopping while the other riders got on.  Marshall was so freaked out every time it stopped because it made his seat swing.  I was crying from laughing so hard at Marshall.  He seriously hated it.

The last day we went to Park City and shopped at the outlet mall.  It was great!  On the drive back home Ty totally crashed.

He was such a trooper the entire weekend.  He was totally off schedule and got random naps here and there, but he was still great!  Love him.

We had a wonderful weekend, and we made some great memories!
