Salt Lake City

Last weekend we took a road trip up to Salt Lake City. I had a convention to go to, and my whole trip was paid for, so Brad and Mason decided to come along.

We left Thursday afternoon and drove up there.

Mason rode like this with his blanket over his head for a few hours. He would talk to us from under there, and he took a nap for a little while.

Friday, while I was at the convention, Brad took Mason to an aquarium. Mason loved the big turtles and sharks and fish...Of course, since Brad took him, I don't have any pictures :) Later that night, we drove out to Spencer and Mona's for dinner and to let the kids play for a while.

Saturday we decided to take Mason to temple square. It was super cold and snowy all weekend, but Mason was excited to see all the flowers and fountains. Uncle Brian came and met us there.

Our best attempt at a family picture...we really need to get some professionally done, one of these days...

We checked out the visitor centers. Once Mason saw this little display with a piece of rail road track on it, we couldn't get him to leave. He didn't care about seeing anything else, and he kept running back to look at the track some more.

We had to stop in the other visitors center to see this. Mason thought it was pretty neat.

Later that day we went and met Spencer and Mona at Ikea. We always have fun walking around that store...Now, we just need one in Las Vegas so that we can actually buy some furniture from there. We found some perfect little beds for Mason but there is no way to get the boxes from SLC to Vegas...Oh well.

We ate lunch there and then we got some ice cream before we left.

Mason and Gavin are little cheesers and so cute together.

That night we stayed at Spencer and Mona's. The kids played and were thrilled with dinosaurs and lego guns.

After we put the kids to bed, Brad and Spencer played video games (surprise), so Mona and I decided to make some hair bows. We had fun and decided that we need to do a craft every time because our husbands will always be playing video games :)
