Family Vacation to Utah

In the middle of April we headed to Utah for a few days for a little family vacation. We had so much fun. We didn't tell Saylor what we were doing, we just surprised her with everything and she was loving life. We stayed in a hotel for a night, then woke up the next morning to pouring rain, we were going to do Temple Square, but instead we took Saylor to Toys R' Us and let her pick out a toy. She loved it because she never has got to do something like that before. After the toy store we headed down to my sister Angie's house. We also met up with my brother and his family for dinner that night. We stayed down there for a few days and then headed home.

My pictures are in the wrong order of our trip, but I don't want to redo it so oh well. When we got to my sister's house pulled into the driveway, Say was sleeping. We woke her up and said Say, "we are here at the next surprise, where are we?" She yells, "Ang's house, and Mag". Then she was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She was in HEAVEN while we were there. She played outside for hours and hours following her cousins around, playing in the dirt, jumping on the tramp, swinging and playing with their dogs. One of the things she loved was riding on the 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. She loves to go fast.
 
 Zach brought all his rocket stuff and we spent an afternoon launching and chasing rockets down.
 The first thing we did on our trip was stay in a hotel with our kids. We have never done this yet, and it was WAY better than we thought it was going to be. They did so good. We found a hotel in Salt Lake that had a little mini waterpark in their indoor pool. It was pretty fun, but the water wasn't that warm, so if you stopped moving at all, you froze. We only put Casha in for the last 2 minutes and then didn't take any pictures, but she was on the trip with us :) 
 This is the little waterpark thing they had. It sprays water out all over, has the bucket that dumps water and a few other things, but the water was so cold that right after we turned it on, we turned it off again. They also had a 110ft waterslide that was pretty fun, but I couldn't ever get a picture of Zach coming out of it, so I didn't post any pics of it.
Say was so excited to wear her goggles. I am not even sure if she put her face in the water with them on, but she loved that she was swimming with them. She got pretty brave after being in the water for awhile, and started cruising all over the place in the deeper water, but only with her tube on. If we tried to take her with us without it, she would get mad.
