Spring Break Getaway 2013

 For Spring Break we decided to do a couple of fun activities nearby.  On Monday we went to the Gateway with all the cousins and went to the planetarium and to get the kids swimsuits for Easter.  There were 8 kids so it was a little crazy, but we had a lot of fun.  Then on Tuesday we died eggs and got the eggs filled.  On Thursday Shane and I took the boys to a hotel in Salt Lake and swam and went out to dinner to the Cheesecake Factory.  Then at the crack of dawn Shane Brax and Dakota swam again for 3 hours while Cam and I slept in.  It was great :)
 Afterward we met up with Justin and Bernice and their family and Becky and Russ at Scheels.  It is a sports store in SLC that has a ton of fun things for the kids to do and play.  We rode the Faris Wheel, shot, guns, did sports simulators and bought a couple of things for the kids.

 Ryder and Braxton have really taken to each other, where we find Braxton there will also be Ryder.

 After our shopping adventure we headed to Temple Square and the City Creek Center.  There is such beautiful fountains at both places.  It was a beautiful spring day and I truly feel peace there.  I was happy to share the beauty of the temple with my boys.  Surprisingly we have never done that with them.  It is so close, but we rarely make it to Salt Lake.  What a fun Spring Break!!
