A few weeks before Easter I decided to go home to Denver and spend time with Jessica and her daughters who made the trip from Dallas. Travis wasn't able to come because he had just taken work off for the Moab trip. Sarah was planning to go home in May, but the weekend she was hoping to go the family was planning on coming out to Utah. So Sarah and I got together and road-tripped it with our two boys. The trip went better than expected with great weather, and Sarah and I got to have nice long road-trip chats. The long weekend was filled with fun activities for the kiddos and a great adults only dinner at Bone Fish, which I loved. It was so nice to get out with my older siblings and have a great conversation. We also spent our down time plays the trivia board game, Logos, over and over again. Great game!
Our first activity was a trip to the train museum. Jacob is totally into trains so Sarah thought it would be fun to take them there. Well, we walk into the lobby to buy our admission tickets and all the kids want to do is play with the toy train table-can't blame them; it was pretty cool. Finally we dragged them away to see the big trains. Sarah proceeds to take Jacob on the big train and he starts freaking out. Not a fan at all for the first 15 minutes. He finally did warm up to it all and we all had fun in the wind checking out the trains.
While hanging out at home, Claire was asked to her first Prom! Her boyfriend, Danny wrote on the driveway in sidewalk chalk during their lunch break. All of us older sisters took the opportunity to stick our heads outside and 'check him out'. We approved. :) The next day, Dallen was Grandpa Joe's helper- getting into tools and fixing some exercise equipment.
After going to the train museum, the great grandkids got to see all of Great Grandpa Don's train equipment and toys. Jacob played with the toy train set the whole time we were there and loved seeing Great Grandpa's model trains. Sophie played with Jillian, the kitty, when she wasn't staring down Lily who was hanging out in the backyard. There is so much to check out at their house that Avery and Dallen just had fun exploring and playing with their Aunts.
It was so nice spending some time with my good friends Trisha and Kym-me. We got our babies together and spent the evening letting them play together and feeding them dinner. It was so interesting how wonderfully different this visit was with all of us being first-time young mommies. :)
Next was Easter Sunday. We ended up taking pictures during Church since the babies were getting tired and every one's clothes getting dirty. :) These were the best ones. ha!
And last but not least was the Easter Egg Hunt in the backyard and coloring Easter Eggs. Jessica got the 'best mom award' for getting the egg under the stairs. ha! :) They all loved the hunt and it made so much more exciting then years past. :)
