Spring Break

Spring Break! Finally!! (Or at least that's what the boys were saying.) For the past two years, we have traveled during Spring Break (Arizona then Moab), but this year we decided to just have a little fun at home, which I was totally fine with!. Things have been a little topsy turvy because we've been re-doing all our flooring, and I didn't want to have to try to plan and execute a trip on top of all the remodel stuff. So...we created our own fun week here in Utah County. Each day, we planned an activity that the boys could look forward to. Some were simple and some were more involved, but every day there was a little something fun. Monday was "Movie Monday". Jeff took the boys to see the new Batman vs. Superman movie. They loved it!
Tuesday was "Tumbling Tuesday". The boys each invited a friend to go to Hang Time. I think this was one of the favorite activities of the week. They love being able to play tag on a massive floor of trampolines or play dodgeball. I loved that they had a place to get their energy out! Jonas even enjoyed a little jump time with his brothers. He loves being in new places with new people and doing new things. His excitement eventually overcame he and he napped a little before I took the boys to Yogurtland (another favorite place for them to satisfy their sugar addiction).

Wednesday we went to the Provo Rec Center for "Wet and Wild Wednesday". This was Jonas's first time swimming and he LOVED it! I think I gave birth to a fish. At first, he stayed pretty close to my side, but once he got used to his surroundings it was all I could do to keep a hold of him. He loved when his brothers splashed him and vice versa. I think this was Jonas's favorite activity of the week for sure! After we swam, we had a picnic in the park before we went back to the rec center so Dallin and Danny could play ping pong, pool, and shuffle board. It was a really fun afternoon with my boys.

Thursday was a little less exciting. The boys needed to visit the dentist (not fun!) so we scheduled that for today. In the morning, the boys played a game they bought and had fun with Jonas and their remote control cars. We then headed to the dentist. Luckily, no one had any cavities!...which made our activity for the day totally ok. It was "Thirsty Thursday" so we went to Sip-N and got drinks and cookies.


The activity for "Freezing Friday" was ice skating at the Seven Peaks Ice Arena. Sorry, there are no pictures. Jeff took the boys so that I could help his sister, Katie, shop for an engagement outfit (she's getting married!). The boys had a blast ice skating...and no broken bones or blood. All in all I think it was a fun, successful week at home. Less than 9 weeks left of school! I can't believe how fast this year has flown, but I am ready. Bring on all the summer fun!
