Trip to Salt Lake

A few weeks ago we took a trip to Salt lake with a few friends. There were three adults and 5 little girls. Surprisingly they did awesome since we had an actual T.V. in it to watch movies.

At rest stop in Idaho. We had to let them out to run a bit.

We took a trip to Gateway Children's Museum. Boy did the girls enjoy it. Their favorite part was the Life Filght helicopter that was on on the roof. We spent quit awhile up there flying the helicopter.



One morning we woke up to snow. I knew it wouldn't last long so we bundled up in our impromptu snow clothes (fleece footed sleepers with sweat pants over the top and rain boots) The snow wasn't great to play in but they enjoyed themselves.

No trip to Utah would be complete without a trip to Temple Square. The girls loved getting to walk around and see everything.

Great Grandma Ellie and the girls.



We all met up for a trip to Hogle Zoo. Not as great as I remember it being but of course the girls LOVED it. Lexie has a stuffed cougar she loves so she really enjoyed seeing the cougars, but the Giraffes were a close second.

March of Dimes




Ellie and I participated in the March of Dimes last weekend. We raised $105. Thank you to those who sponsored us. We made it the whole 5 miles and really enjoyed ourselves. I think we will make it a family tradition to participate every year. I was so proud of Ellie as she walked (the 10 steps she actually walked) because she knew we were doing it to raise money to help babies. Next year we are going to have our own team so if you're interested in joining us just let me know!
