So we found out that for Memorial day Eric got a 3 day weekend (Mon,Tue,Wed). So we decide to make a super fast trip up to Utah before Eric starts school and cant miss any school with out fear of failing. So Sunday the kids and I packed our bags and got everything ready. Once Eric got home we put our bags in the car and headed out. We decided to drive half way and stay in Mesquite. The kids did awesome on the way to Mesquite. They slept most of the way and we only had to stop once for a potty trip. Once we got into our hotel room the kids were so excited that they didn't want to go to sleep. We had 2 full beds and I think Eric is the only one that used them. Me and the kids ended up sleeping on the floor lol. Once we got up and ready we stopped at the gas station and grabbed some breakfast bars and headed out. We stopped in Beaver and ate lunch and headed back out again. Finally we made it to Riverton around 4. Ps the time change from Az to Ut sucked. We had a bbq at my moms and Sean, Becky, and Teresa, Dallas and Kayla and Ryan all came. The kids loved playing outside in the grass (you don't realize how much you like something till you don't have it all the time).
We also go to meet my parents new puppy Bear.
He is a super cute puppy, I think Eric would have taken him home with us if my parents would have let him. Once everyone left we all got in our pjs and decided to watch UP! together. The kids were so excited to watch a movie at grandma and grandpas house. Brandyn had to lay in grandpas chair with him.
So cute. Once the movie was over we decided to go to bed. we had made the kids a fun bed on the floor but the kids wanted to sleep in the bed. so Eric and i decided to let them stay on the bed until they fell asleep and then move them. Well that plan didn't work out so well. Eric and I fell asleep before them sooo once again I ended up on the floor lol. Once we got up and ready we met Mark for brunch. After brunch we went to the mall for a bit. Cadence got some new shoes (Sketchers-she has been bugging us to get her some because she saw them on tv) we tried to get Brandyn some but all he wanted was a spiderman back pack. My mom got half the day off and offered to watch the kids while Eric and I went to a movie. (Thanks mom!) It was nice being able to get out just the 2 of us especially because who knows how long before it happens again. After the movie we went to dinner at Red Robin in the District with my parents and Mark. Before Mark got there the kids were throwing coins into the fountain. Once all the coins ran out Grandpa taught the kids that they could reach in and get coins from the water to throw back in.
They loved it. After eating dinner we left for Mesquite again that way we could break up the drive for the kids and we could stop and play in Vegas for a bit. Even though our trip was super fast we had a great time! Hopefully next time we go up we can stay longer and visit more than just family.
