Since we were heading up to Salt Lake to take Jocelyn to Primary Children's we made a vacation out of the trip. Cami and Taryn hit space camp with their cousins who are close to their ages while Jocelyn, Brent, and I headed to primary children's for tests. It was a looooong day without a lot of answers for Jocelyn but the older kids had a great time at space camp. They went to a school where a staged NASA type camp. Each kiddo had a job like controller etc. Creed played with his cousin and Aunt Michele. The next day we hit two dollar Tuesday at the museum of natural curiosity/exploratorium place and it was super fun. After lunch because it was soooo cheap we hit the dinosaur museum also. It was really fun to take pictures of Jocelyn and Creed there since we have so many of Cami and Taryn in that exact place. We used to go there every trip when Grandma Weight had a family pass but Jocelyn and Creed never got the chance until now.The kids spent hours exploring and playing. Creed and Jocelyn played so hard they both fell asleep in the car on the way home.
The next day Cami and Brent went with the older cousins to the temple while the youngers and I checked out Lehi Roller Mills. They make the best muffin mix ever and it was just fun to go explore there. We also hung out at a park for a short time. That afternoon we went to the water park in Salt Lake. The kids all played hard. Creed was ready for any slide while Jocelyn took it easy in the kid slide area with her cousin. Cami and Taryn again disappeared with cousins and played hard the whole time.
Thursday we did a little back to school shopping at the mall in Salt Lake where there is an H&M (per Taryn's request) although she discovered a love for Macy's too. She is such a funny kid. For lunch we were able to meet up with some friends from Michigan that we hadn't seen for probably 10 years. It was so fun to catch up and eat sushi and be amazed at how big each other's kids were.
We also just spent time in Heber at Papa's. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire pit. We went bowling.We spent one day in Provo Canyon hiking and picnicking and relaxing. We even made it to the top of a water slide.
Overall it was a great trip with a lot of fun despite so unfun moments too....It was definitely a memory maker.
The kids all made a hunger games themed dino clock....It was creative and great!
