Playdate

While Baby Brady was having his first couple of nights at home Rick and I were able to share "taking care of the other kids" with Doug and Leesa.  We had the kids on Thursday night and all day Friday.  We stayed in Salt Lake, and after dinner at Black Bear (which Scoutie calls Black Barrell) we went over to the Raddison to spend the night.  We got there just in time to spend about twenty five minutes in the pool before it closed.  Grandpa and Rafe got into the water and played but it was a little chilly for Scout and me.  We were happy just putting our feet in:)  No pictures of our hotel stop:(

After watching a crazy fishing show we all fell asleep and didn't wake until EIGHT!!  

I blame it on those darkening blinds.......

We had a nice breakfast at Denny's and then headed over for a fun day at the Zoo.  We called to invite Sarah and the boys so they joined us as well.  We had just a wonderfully, pleasant time at the zoo. 

Ready for the zoo!!

The kids are just the right age for loving everything about the zoo!   They all loved looking at the park map and deciding where to go next.  We got there just in time for the bird show and I LOVED watching the kids' huge smiles as they watched the birds swoop over their heads. 

 A fun grandma moment for me!

Halfway through our zoo experience we changed the kids into their swim gear and let them play at the splash pad.  Rafe's face sums up how that went!!  

This is a great picture of Henry throwing a tantrum because he didn't get to sit where he wanted to!:)

But after just a minute he was in better spirits!!

Kendra called while we were at the zoo and was anxious to have the kids back to stay.  We were planning to have them another night but she was missing them.....and they were missing her (and dad) as well.  We brought them back into Grantsville, and after visiting a bit grabbed the convertible and headed back to SL.  We stopped at a restaurant out by the airport called Robert's.  Comfort food.  We stayed in a Marriott property by the airport (can't remember which one) and just had a relaxing night to ourselves.  Bliss!!  They upgraded us to a suite which made it even nicer:)

The next morning we headed over to the Downtown Farmer's Market.  We love this place!  We always spend way too much money and eat too much but it is just super fun!!  Love the Market!!

Later that night we continued our fun by catching a movie in Tooele.  We went to see Solo and were very entertained!!  Fun weekend!
