ABC's of Spring Break

We experienced a lot this week: snow, warmth, work and play. So here's an ABC recap of the week.

Arcade. We hardly ever go to an arcade, much less spend money at one. So Dalanie was pretty excited about all of the tickets I won for her. The hardest part was trying to decide what to cash in her tickets on.
Bee Supply Store. I've got a little work assembling my frames and boxes before I'll 'bee' ready for the arrival of my bees. The kids and I are pretty excited.

Conference Center. When inside the impressive assembly hall Hudson reverently said, "If we wait here for a few more days, we could see the prophet. I'm sure he'd like to talk to us." Unfortunately we weren't able to hang out until conference, but we enjoyed the magnificent building.
On top of the roof.

Dressing up and Driving at Discovery Gateway. The grocery store was the favorite exhibit.
Enjoying the beauty of Temple Square. Only the bulbs around heat vents were blooming, but the grounds were immaculate.
Flow Rider. Fun but brutal. Hudson ate it up though.

Grins & Fins water park. Now the kids are ready to set up the pool and start swimming lessons. Ruby is fearless and would be independent. I played lifeguard.
Hubble iMax. The boys were fascinated. We brought a spaceship with named telescope home with us.

i fly. Flying without the horrid falling sensation. I give it two thumbs up.


Jumping on hotel beds.

Kite flying.

Little Caesars on the go.

Mayan. The entertainment was definitely better than the food.
N

Octopus at the Living Aquarium.

Peanut Butter sandwiches were Ruby's staple. That girl will not eat at a restaurant.
Quality family time.

Rock climbing.
Snowmen and sledding in fresh snow on Monday.
Trax.

Undoing and re-doing meters. Brent's been really busy with Precision Planting. We all got to help out. The kid's favorite job is spraying out the meters. (It might be because they get to wear safety glasses.)

W
ind. Enough wind to make up for X, Y, and Z.

Wow! You guys played hard and packed in the fun.

So so so sooo jealous of the hives and the bees. Even though we finally have a house and yard, I figured this probably wasn't the best year to take some on. With a baby, a garden to establish (and a whole new climate and soil type to adjust to), the costs (see: having a new baby) and the first year demands of a hive, it just didn't seem prudent. Now I'll have an old pro to help me out when I finally get my own. But that doesn't mean I'm still not jealous. I'll hope for a productive year for your girls, in hope I get some of your golden spoils!

What a FUN spring break! I think that there is nothing quite as enjoyable as having quality family time.
