Spring break - Friday

At the beginning of Spring break, I was sooo hoping we could just drop everything and drive to California to see the beach, feel the warmth, and enjoy a change of scenery. I was just slightly devastated that the weather was suppose to be cold and rainy here and I wanted out. I survived not heading west and on Friday I got my dose of each of those things I was craving. We enjoyed going to Antelope Island and letting the boys explore to their hearts content, which was a close second.

This is the very first time in my thirty-three years of living that I have been this close to the Great Salt Lake. It's quite beautiful. My favorite is seeing all the mountains in the background. And we only scratched the surface on what can be explored on this big island. We'll go back for sure.

They loved searching for the Bison. We found a fun hike that had so many places to explore and have quite an adventure on. Then we made the long trek across the sandy beach to finally touch the Salt Lake and skip rocks. It was pure happiness.







 :: Levi was feeling a bit sad and did not want to continue on the hike and of course his amazing daddy finds a way to cheer him right up. They played a game of only walking on the rocks all the way to the top :) ::





 :: Goodness gracious I love these boys!! ::
 :: They were just exhausted by the end of the day ::

As we came to the end of spring break we asked each of the boys what was their favorite. Justin and I were thrilled to hear that they each loved something different. Corbin loved going to The Classic Fun Center, Taylor loved Antelope Island, Levi loved going swimming, and Rudger loved having his boysies with him for all of our adventures. And I'm pretty certain Adeline loved being held by mommy a majority of the time :) I would have to say that made for a very successful Spring Break Staycation!
