We went up to Logan to visit family and to see the cute lil baby animals at American West Heritage Center. We arrived a day before it was open to the public so we went and had a picnic with James, Karen and Kora, and saw the animals at Willow Zoo. The next day we went to the animal farm. We had a blast! Karen and Kora went with us and they were so patient when Jordan wanted to stop and hold every animal or when he ran away from me to go do something he wanted to do! While we were there we also went to lunch with some of my friends- Rich and Bonnie treated us to McDonalds and they were great with the kids.. so Thank you!!
Then Saturday, April 11th we decided to take the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt. Ok, really just Jordan and Lexi observed. It wasn't so much a hunt as a race and an adventure as South Salt Lake just puts the eggs and candy on the grass and the parents put out arms to hold back anybody else from getting candy in that vicinity. I then went to lunch with my nursing school friends and we had a blast! Later that evening Boom-papa (G'pa Fitts) invited us over to dye eggs - Jordan had a blast, just drinking the vinegar water (gross!). He made some great creative eggs and we took some home.
Sunday morning - We had Jordan find the eggs and then, Lexi and Jordan had their baskets and we put them in their cute new easter clothes.
On top of all that Jordan keeps seeing this commercial where the mom makes rice krispie eggs with her girls and then dips it in chocolate and then in sprinkles. He keeps telling me he wants to make them so finally today we did it. He did tell me when he does stuff with dad its fun and when he does stuff with me "you get angry". I didn't mean to put he was driving me nuts trying to help. aaaahhh! big sigh- I need to learn to let go....
The one with chocolate dripping down his face was when we were done with the eggs and he saw that there was chocolate left over and thought it was for him, umm yeah.
And of course random moments of craziness, silliness, exhaustion, or just a sucker time...
