We did some spring cleaning Monday. Later that day we went to eat with the Welches. Our kids are similar ages and they loved playing together. After a dentist appointment for Casey Tuesday morning we headed down to Logan. We wanted to do some new things with the kids but the weather wasn't great so we did what we could. Our first "new activity" was roller skating. It was a pretty shaky start. Both kids had a hard time with balance and moving smoothly. My mom was so awesome and worked with the kids on the carpet to help them get better. Kendal progressed well and enjoyed herself. Peter had a few good moments but overall he wasn't loving roller skating so he stubbornly sat or layed down to make his point clear to the world.
We found parts of each day that we either embraced the chill or it was decent enough for the kids to play outside.
Wednesday Aunt Katherine played hooky from work to spend the day with us. We colored pictures in the morning and Kendal finished one to turn into a local greenhouse for a free plant. She chose a cute pink one to take and give to Nana. We picked up lunch and spent some time at Nana's that afternoon. The kids pulled out all of the vintage toys from the 50s / 60s. My dad and Katherine later took the kids to see the baby animals at Cal Ranch. My parents and Katherine were awesome and watched the kids while Casey and I went on a much needed rare date. I joked that Casey was so romantic and bought out the theater for us because we were the only two there. The kids got to have a movie night of their own and enjoyed popcorn and the Peanuts movie.
Thursday we grabbed a lunch and set off to find a new park in town. We ended up at Ryan's park which is a lot like the Castle park the kids love but has many differences. We didn't last too long because it was chilly, but we had fun nevertheless. Thursday night My Dad treated us plus David and Anica to a game of bowling. The kids enjoyed themselves and Peter did better than most of us. Friday we enjoyed the morning at my parents. We lunched at chick fill a before heading out.
(Thanks for the stay Mom and Dad!)
After Logan we made our way to Raft River. The kids got grandma to play a slew of games with them and Casey took them out to find Grandpa and ride in the tractor with him.
Saturday morning they went out again to see the cows being milked and find the calves. Around lunch more cousins and family rolled in. Grandma had fun activities for the kids. They made bunnies with marshmallows, played a game, and then they listened to a cute Easter story. Afterwards they headed out to hunt for candy. Grandma spoiled the kids and they were happy with their loot and spent lots of time eating sweets and enjoying more cousin time. Peter attached himself to Cody's girlfriend Mia. She was sweet with all of the kids and even sat through games with our crazy crew. We had a delicious dinner and relaxed afterwards watching the women's session. We ended our fun day celebrating Ashley's birthday and enjoying some bunny cake.
We ended up walking the kids this morning to hunt for their baskets and eggs. Each had to be helped along because we had to get ready for church. Their reactions were priceless and so cute. Kendal loved getting a golden egg and Peter was thrilled and surprised by everything. Peter ate more candy than breakfast but that's not surprising. Both the kids got a new kite and a movie (Cinderella and Toy Story 2). Peter got some little dinosaurs and Kendal got new sunglasses. Each got bunny crackers, jelly beans, and a couple of chocolate Bunny's.
Here is us after church. Kendal and Peter are wearing their Papa's shirt creations. Kendal loved helping to make it and I love that they have a piece of their great Grandpa to Enjoy.
Before and After!
