Our trip to SLC

Last week we spent 4 day in Salt Lake while Bryan attended a EMT conference. My cousin Ryan works for Marriott and is always so WONDERFUL to get us a great suite which makes the stay very nice. I kept the boys busy during the day and then we would go out for dinner at night as a family.

I went and visited my cousin Lacy in West Valley and my boys had a great time playing with their cousin Maddie and Lacy and I had a good visit.  We took the kids to Chick-fil-a for lunch and it was a fun and wild experience. They have a play land like McDonald's, but I guess I am just use to little Price, because there were TONS and TONS of kids there. I have know idea why it is underling everything but it is DRIVING ME NUTS and I can't fix it- sorry!! 

I took the boys swimming. They LOVE the water and LOVE swimming. I forgot Griffins life jacket so I was trying to juggle both of them in the water but it was LOTS of fun. 

I took the boys to the Children's Museum at the Gateway Mall and I have to tell you that this place is AMAZING and I think everyone should take their children. We spent 4 hours there but could have easily stayed all day. They have so many fun things for the kids to do and the parents enjoy it too. I took tons of pictures and it was hard to pick through them so you will be seeing a bunch. These first two are my boys playing in the little store. The kids had little shopping bags and carts and there were shelves with food and different items like laundry soap. The check out stand was fun because the kids could add up the items and push buttons that would say things like "sale on bread today" or "price check on isle 1" It was SO fun to watch my kids play and have fun. Every different part of this museum was FANTASTIC!!

Griffin thought this was pretty exciting. He put balls inside and the air would push them up and they would fly in different clear plastic tubes all over. I loved watching his smile and excited face as he watched the balls. This is the first thing you come to when you walk in so I had to convince Griff that there was other fun things to do and oh boy were there.

It was neat watching Griffin being creative and figuring things out. These pipes are on a huge magnetic board and you move them around is different positions and put balls in and watch them come out the other end. There is a place were kids can play in water and put balls in different places and watch were they come out.

The boys LOVED the helicopter. It made noises like it was taking off and landing and Griffin thought that was pretty cool. He would say " I am really driving mom."
Griffin spent forever here with the tools and magnets. He kept saying "just a minute mom, I am fixing this."
