LAGOON

 We did Lagoon passes again this year---it just makes financial sense if you plan on going 2 times. It's cheaper to do season passes even if you want to go 1.5 times haha. Plus it takes away the stress and pressure to go hard all day from open to close. This year we just drove up and back the same day, and it wasn't bad at all. We got home super late at night, but we recovered quickly. We did the first half of the day just us, but then had some friends meet up with us after their kids were done with their sports. It was so fun. We sent all the kids off together for a little while all the adults just hung out and talked haha...see, if we didn't have season passes, that wouldn't have been possible :) But we rode all the rides we wanted to several times (except primordial...just once), and stopped for lunch in the gazebo to take a break from the heat and sit down. Speaking of heat, we decided to do Rattlesnake rapids, and most of the people getting off the ride were fairly dry....but not us haha. We got SOAKED! it felt great because it was so warm, but we didn't see that coming haha. We had the absolute perfect weather all day. Never got too cold when evening and closing came around. I could have stayed outside another 48 hours in those temps.

After lagoon, we all decided to head to In-N-Out for dinner... ended up staying wayyyy longer than we thought, but no one wanted to leave :)

finally headed home and dropped Jon and Evelyn off in Pocatello and made our way to Rexburg. Got home around 1am, bed by 1:30am  and then up at 7am to prepare our lesson for church that started at 9am. :) we planned to do a movie and relax day, but went out to my moms house to hang out with her and Megans family. Glad we went! 

It was a fun weekend and I'm so excited for many more summertime adventures.

Spring Break 2024

 This has been our most adventurous Spring Break we've ever been on. Our original plan was to go to St. George from Thursday-Saturday (doing Zions and playgrounds and swimming), then drive to Lagoon for Saturday and stay with our friends Saturday night, and then go to church at our old ward in Harrisville and do our favorite parks. But Saturday morning we woke up to the kids eyes being filled with goop and kinda red... not knowing if it was pink eye or not, we decided to forgo Lagoon and friends so we didn't infect the state of Utah. 

It turned out to be the best decision because the eyes healed up quickly and we got to cross off a bucket list item. We rode our bikes 18 miles through the Tetons and the kids said it was one of the best days of their lives. The weather was 64* and so sunny! Absolutely perfect. They don't open the park to cars until may, so we got to ride the roads!! So fun!

When we were in St.George we went to Thunder Junction twice, splash pad there and at the lazy river in the city park, hiked up the red rocks in Pioneer Park, and spent a full hot day in Zions!! Always so beautiful, but this time was a little too warm for my liking. We finished each night with a swim in the hotel pool, and a family movie with popcorn! Ah, it was so much fun!!! Oh and we had In-N-Out and Pollo Loco! mmmmm

Today is our last day of Spring Break, and we started it by sending Dan off to work, and us girls took to the Butte for a hike. Small little hike, but still fun for a simple thing to do. We will be doing Cafe Rio tonight and then back to real life tomorrow. CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER BREAK!!!!
