For the Easter break weekend, our family went on a staycation. I've wanted to go on a family trip for a long time but we can never plan anything because all our kids have different schedules. The only time they are all out of school is for holidays when everything is busy. So, I decided to do fun things around here. It was a surprise to the kids. I had been planning it for over a month and was so excited to finally tell them what we were doing.
We started out by going to a hotel in West Valley that has a waterslide. We stayed in a really fun two bedroom suite that had a little kitchen in it. It had 3 flat screen TV's and the kids thought that was awesome! The kids had a great time at the pool, especially going down the waterslide at night when it was pitch black. The hotel also had a home theater room that we reserved. We got Subway for dinner and ate dinner while we watched a movie. It was super fun!
On Friday we met Lisa's family at the front runner station downtown and rode the front runner to Ogden. We went to Fat Cat's and went bowling, drove bumper cars and rode a virtual roller coaster. Then we ate some yummy pizza at Pizza Factory. That night we went home and slept at our house. We got up early and were on the road by 8:00 a.m. to Pocatello.
Jadon, Kierra and Jaxon found out the night before that we were going to Idaho but Jake and Kyson didn't know where we were going until we drove into Grandma's neighborhood. We spent about an hour there and then got back in the van and drove to Bear World. The kids had a great time there. There was a petting zoo and some kiddie rides. The best part was when we went on a truck tour to feed the bears. There were tons of bears that came up to the truck and we fed them bread and donuts. It was amazing to be that close to the bears! On the way home we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and had tons of yummy food!
When we got home we colored Easter Eggs together and then went to bed. On Easter Sunday, we got up and got ready for 8:30 am church. The kids were a little disappointed that they didn't get to find their Easter baskets before church but got over it quickly. When they came home from church, they found their Easter Baskets then went on a wonderful Easter Egg hunt that Gladys and Dorothy made for the kids. They each had their own design of eggs and their own little basket. They each got to find 12 eggs. It was so much fun watching them run around finding eggs and then finding out what was inside. Gladys did such a great job of putting everything they love in them, including money! We had a yummy Easter dinner then played games. In the evening, we went to visit Dale's cousin, Ann. Everyone loved going there and we had a great time visiting them. On Monday morning the kids asked what we were going to do today. It broke my heart to tell them that we were going home. We did get to stop at Ross Park on the way home for some yummy lunch. We had such a great 5 days together and I can't wait until we do it again!
