365+1 Week 15

Spring Break!! So, we didn't have anywhere to go, or much money to spend again this year, and Paul was still working, but we made the best of it anyway. I had the girls each tell me some things they would like to do and we scheduled one for each day of our week. Because we were out and about being active I didn't bring my good camera along very much, just my point and shot and my phone. All in all, they turned out OK, mostly I am just happy to have documented our adventures- this was not a week for photography perfection.

Monday we spent running around and finding Eva a new bike and playing with friends- you remember my #100 photo right? Now on with our fun filled week!!

Photo's #101-105:

Tuesday- We hiked up to the "G" on our mountain. The girls have been begging to do this for a VERY long time. They were so curious about what it was made of and what it looked like up close. The Mickelson's joined us, it just wouldn't be as fun without them! We did pick the hottest day of the year so far, 80 degrees plus, but it was fun and they were so proud to have made it. We left our mark by inscribing our names, took in the beautiful views and then made our way back down.

Wednesday- As the clouds were rolling in and a rain storm looming, we mounted our bikes anyway and road the Jordan River Parkway. This is always a favorite activity and even with some winds and a bit of a chill we had a great time!

Thursday- It was raining, a lot. It was decided that we would take in a movie at the local dollar theater. Abby has read the Borrower's book series and so "Arrietty" was a perfect choice. Popcorn, treats, and an escape into a different world- that's a great way to spend a soggy afternoon! Abby was too cool for school to be in this picture with people looking- the humiliation!! But she was able to go to Brooklyn's house for a sleep over- excited doesn't even describe how she felt about that!!

Friday- We were lucky to take up an invite to the Kangaroo Zoo with some of our other cousins. They all had a fabulous time- I'm talking 3 hours of running, jumping, sliding, chasing, sweating, and laughing, kind of a good time!!! They almost wouldn't stop long enough for this group shot.

Saturday- Dad was finally home to join in on the fun! It was raining again all day and this time we decided to make our way over to the Legacy Center to practice our water skills. Abby and Brooklyn spent the entire time going down the large waterside, while Olivia spent most of her time giving Eva swim lessons :) Sadly, I had forgotten my camera and all I had was my cell phone. To make matters worse, this was THE spot that the girls wanted their picture taken. Bad phone+bad lighting = the worse picture yet in my photo a day challenge! Oh well.
