Wolf Creek/Ogden Spring Break

Wolf Creek/Ogden Spring Break
April 2-3 and 6-7

We had the best time with family up Ogden Canyon at Wolf Creek.  Matt's mom had a big enough condo for us to join this time, so we spent the weekend their with her, Jordan, Megan, and the kids.  We spent the first day at the Ogden Eccles Dinosaur Park.  It was so much fun, and had so much to explore.  Lucas was especially in heaven!  They loved climbing on the dinosaurs, hunting for gold (Matisyn spent a long time on that!), and sliding and swinging with cousins at the dino park.  Lucas even found his favorite colored orange bench!  This T-Rex was especially exciting.  Doesn't Kaylee look worried that she is about to be eaten?!!  The second day we played around the condo, the kids tried out the racquetball, and we explored a little lake and beach area.

The kids loved feeling like they were having a great extended sleepover!  They had popcorn and treats, watched movies, played outside, colored all over the sidewalks with chalk, played frisbee, explored the rock wall, went on walks, played tennis, basketball, and even tried out the racquetball courts.  It was pretty much nonstop fun!

Lucas was running to see the dinosaurs and crashed on the pavement, poor guy is so tough!

Abby and Lucas enjoyed playing in the playroom in the clubhouse while the big kids played racquetball.

We had so much fun during our weekend we decided to go back later in the week.  We had to come home because Matt was leaving on a work trip.  Since the condo was pretty easy to handle the kids, and we were just going to be home anyway, I decided to drive back up when Matt left for his trip.
It was definitely the right choice.  Barb and Megan went home, but Megan and I were able to play with the kids for a couple more days.  We spent the first day back at the Treehouse Museum.  The kids loved all the exhibits and spent hours exploring, climbing, painting, and playing.  We had lunch at the Costa Vida down the street.

The museum was right by the Ogden temple.

Megan made this little angels vs demons picture because their eyes were so red and glowing in some of the pictures.  This statement really is true too!  One minute they are angels, and the next they are driving us crazy!  It was fun to spend time catching up with Megan when the kids went to bed too.

Lucas loved the train you could climb on, and he loved special time with the big boys too!

You couldn't take strollers in so Kaylee spent a lot of time snuggling with me in the bjorn.  She is heavy!  They finally let me bring the stroller in after she fell asleep in it in the lobby.

The kids all liked the craft room and getting to paint pictures.  This was the longest time Lucas has spent crafting ever!  He really did a good job on his picture.

The next day we spent some time at the clubhouse playing tennis and walking around the grounds.  I'm so glad we went back!  The kids and I had a great spring break!
